Knowing enough about the US this is probably highly illegal
She's doing a beach clean up tomorrow. She's invited everyone out to volunteer and ask her questions. It's a little far from me and I'm but in her district but, still considering attending just to see what's up.
This is the way
I knew who it was before I even read her name. I hope she wins and does good things.
Kat's great, but her opposition to traditional Democratic politics is going to tank her campaign. The Democrats only want old, rich ~~conservatives~~ centrists.
It is nice to see at least one Democrat who's doing some real good, though.
I like to think the tides are slowly, but gradually, turning as more people realize how useless the democrats have been. I hope there will be more candidates like Kat showing up everywhere soon

Yeah, I noticed it as well ever since Chuck Schumer rubber stamped the Republican budget bill-- which would disenfranchise millions of Americans from Medicare cuts-- without offering much resistance. Even some of the die-hard centrist Democrats here in Lemmy seem to sobering up as well. But hopefully my observation isn't just contained in social media and my information circle, but the also throughout the US.
There's a part of me that wants to be optimistic, but this is America.
Kat Abughazaleh is her name.
Also worth noting she's running for congress in Illinios
How do you pronounce it??
Kat Abu is amazing and just the kind of grass roots candidate we need everywhere.
This candidate's skills seem to be in communication and I'm glad they are using it for good.
I hope this inspires a new generation of politician candidates that put action ahead of the politics in their messaging, because I admit that action alone without messaging means no one hears the good work you are doing and gives free reign to culture war misinformation and billionaire funded hate campaigns.
It has worked. Here in Vancouver, we got a city councillor whose day job is a dishwasher, because of their progressive vision and their concrete action over rhetoric to help people in our communities. He and an anti-automobile candidate beat out the incumbent party's cop candidate and the NIMBY candidates by a wide margin.
Never heard of her before but she sounds cool as hell. Wishing her all the success!!
could this be seen as bribery of the public?
Absolutely. She's in the pocket of Big Homeless.
New rap name, called it
Are Gen Z the chosen ones? I hope so.
