That's BAD? Campaign financing is almost exclusively used for shit like billboards, TV ads, and wealthy silver spoon galas and you think it's bad that she's using hers for charity? What the fucking bad faith, Batman.

Yes. It's buying votes. Giving people food sith the clear implication of asking them to vote for her.

Ohhh, you still give a shit about Reddit. Okay, now I understand the type of conversation this is. L, O, fucking, L.

So her astroturfing is irrelevant just because it's on reddit. Ah, you're that sort of person. I don't even have reddit downloaded anymore; you're making a bold assumption on that front.

Almost all congresmen have extremely blatantly obvious corruption and political bribery, and you're just pulling absolute bad faith bullshit from thin air about how giving crowd-funded money to charity is a bad thing.

This is pure what aboutism. Seriously? You're seriously pulling what aboutism?

The fact is she has a large social media presence that explains her funding, her campaign strategy, and her so-called "astroturfing".

Yeah surely swarms of people saying only good things about her and drawing 5x more engagement on city specific subreddits than other posts is just people loving her.

I did not instantly make up bullshit about her husband. And additionally, "past jobs" are not important, past political experience is important.
