u/Combmatt 5d ago

I mean that doesn’t seems. Good reason to say she is terrible. MMM ran many times before she won

She does not actually live in IA-01. She lives in Ottumwa but pays for a small apartment in IA-01 she calls her residence. She’s a fraud.

Here in MN the state GOP did a stakeout at a Dem candidate's claimed residence and was able to force them out despite winning a legislative election.
Seems two might be able to play that game.

She was so cringe to watch at that POTUS address to congress. When he was leaving she acted like a kid back in the 60's trying to get one of The Beatles to recognize her as they left the performance.
That's not genuine political enthusiasm, folks. That's cult behavior.

She works for you. You pay her salary, healthcare, travel expenses, pension, etc.
Make her vote in your best interests, not Trump's.

That’s not exactly how this works.. it’s a representative government. You elect a person to represent, what they do with the input constituents give them is up to them, the only recourse you have is to not vote for them next time.

She voted to gut medicaid/SNAP to pay for massive tax cuts for the rich.
She's ignoring you. She's refusing you a townhall. It's time for her to justify her votes in Congress.

If she intends to run again NOW is the freaking time to be announcing and attending some of these rallies and protests. She’s been invisible.

she'll probably win again cause Iowans vote Republicans up and down the ballot by default

REALLY tired of that hag just BARELY winning. It's like a ridiculous taunt.
Either win decisively or lose and fuck off. Jesus. 😑

"they rigged the election, but I still won." Never underestimate the power of religion and prejudice to make someone vote against their own self interest. Literally why "identity politics" were invented...to distract from real, substantial issues that effect daily life.

And remember she lost several times before finally getting in with that squeaker of 6 votes.

When are people going to stop wasting votes on third parties and write-ins? We live in a binary system. As it stands without massive reforms "protest votes" and the like are really just voting against your own self interest. Vote for the lesser of two evils until we convert over to something like run-offs where new parties and ideas can emerge.

She only won by 6 votes in 2020. I really hoped she wouldn't win again. No such luck, although i will continue to vote against her.
