    She’s great, and she’s one of the few Democrats capable of hard hitting soundbites like this one. Buuuuut, she’s super controversial due to the constant attacks by the right. In a way, she rose to fame because of that, but they might have set her up to fail on any stage larger than her home district. I would love to be proven wrong there though.

      The right can make anyone controversial in the right. Because they’re detached from reality. Completely untethered. We can’t really worry about that. I think if she continues in the path she’s currently on. Supporting labor and actually working in her community. That can go a long ways towards taking the name recognition she was gifted and building an even better structure on top of it.

      She’ll never get the misogynist and the fascist that’s for sure. But she doesn’t have to. She just has to be better than what we’re used to.
