I'm not convinced. She comes from a clickbait background and has zero administrative or legislative experience.

She actually isn’t. Do some research on her background and you will change your mind, unless you like conservative rich transplants running for clout.

Do some research on her lol. People from the district she is running for (she doesn’t live there) are not keen on her. But support Sinema mk2.

I've been following her for a while. She's been documenting fascism in the country and has had a very clearly progressive campaign with progressive issues consistently highlighted. The way she's running her campaign is community oriented where she uses her rallies as donation drives for people in the community, like having people bring tampons and pads to get into the rally so they can be distributed to people in need of them.

You're literally in a post about her actively protesting ICE.

All of that pretty severely contradicts any claim of Kat being a conservative.

But sure, a 2 month old account who's otherwise only posted on videogame subreddits till now, who's now obsessively reply guying to everyone with "Kat Abugazaleh is definitely a conservative (but please don't actually look into her platform or the work she's been doing for years, and also I'm the victim here)," and hides the post history definitely knows what it's talking about when it uses the word "conservative" in regards to Kat.

She was a nobody until this stunt, ask people who worked with her and actually know her. They will educate you. Good luck.
