Knowing enough about the US this is probably highly illegal
Historically - buying votes with alcohol was a thing. Think 1890’s - 1920’s corruption - Tammany Hall. Probably how Edgar Allen Poe died - voting multiple times in exchange for alcohol.
Not only that she's likely a Republican funded plant. She's trying to run in my district, but she doesn't even live here yet, and she's planning to run for our congressperson. It's horrifying tbh and I'm going to help campaign against her
What kind of anxiety do you have and how do I not get it?
Have you done any research into her? She's an influencer type who has been posting progressive content for a while.
Anxiety? Yeah sure, someone who has never even lived in our district is trying to run being bad is anxiety.
Yes, she's influencer. That's bad.faking your views is easy
She has a pretty well documented history of working in progressive media and pushing progressive points. If having conservative parents means someone is a conservative then my wife, myself and ALL of my progressive and liberal friends are faking it. Dang it.
No, alone it doesn't mean anything. However, when you consider the other factors, is what becomes suspicious
bad reasoning for both counts
It is not remotely reasonable to run for districts you've never lived in. There's no good politicians who do it.
That's a complete fallacy. Me believing one thing does not mean I believe the inverted is true
You started this conversation by baselessly claiming she's a republican plant.
I said she's likely one, and listed reasons. I did not state as a claim that she was.
I'd like to also add that on reddit she is known for astroturfing the evanston, Illinois, and cook county subreddits.

I've had issues on some lemmies with edits not showing up. I was unsure exactly what caused the issue, so if it's relevant I try not to just edit
For example, you're pretending that she's a republican because you don't like people to your left running. Or feeding the poor.
She's not to my left... Lmfao. I'm about equal to her stated viewpoints. Albeit more radical on environmental.
Oh wow, I don't like buying votes. Jeez, who would've thought?

Everyone Please don't feed this Fredthefishlord troll

centrists love pretending that everyone to their left is actually a republican.
I'm not a filthy fucking centrist. Maybe by lemmy standards, but I'm left of 90% of Americans
You mentioned your post history elsewhere, so I had a look, and... nope. Your post history is largely unpleasant and tinged with bouts of xenophobia.
Genuinely, what? Xenophobia? Clear tell that you did not even slightly look at my post history and are making shit up. Either that, or you think my anti china stance on the basis of their authoritarianism is xenophobia...
