Deeply unserious candidate, who is seemingly completely unfamiliar with the nature of the job she’s interviewing for and the structure of the body she hopes to become a member of.
Hard disagree, she is one of the few truly serious candidates running.
And one of the very few who's both aware of and HONEST about what a minority party CAN legally and ethically do to sabotage the fascist machine.
You're right we need another old guy in a suit
Ok so I can't vote for her but what are you talking about. Unfortunately I doubt she is going to win but she is serious and passionate and I think likely more familiar than you with the job by this comment. I was happier to meet her than duckworth (although duckworth finally wised up a bit this year with all the treason and such coming out of the administration)
Non-specific criticism
How many people wouldn't use the words "unserious" or "completely unfamiliar" to describe this candidacy if they were coming out of the mouth of a middle-aged, white male.
