No, I'm not terribly hung up on the location thing. I think they should absolutely be local, and she's pretty goddamn close

She only just moved into the state less than a year ago...

Not caring about the location is for a different political system. In ours, location is important.

I think it's entirely valid to run in a district when you clearly align with the values of that district.

What indicates that to you? You don't live here, do you know the values of the area?

But you don't, do you? You're just asking questions.

I have provided explicit evidence in the form of largely out of state donations and not being in district as to show why she should not be elected in the district. As well as vote buying through using campaign funds in charity.

you don't fucking have it.*

No, you just think it's fine for someone who has not even lived in an area to represent them. That's just a recipe for pure corruption. It means they won't actually understand the values or wants of the areas. You are simply pretending it is fine because it suits your views best
