Speed run getting elected as a Democrat this cycle, get arrested or indicted by the Trump regime.

It’s the Michael Scott meme, “I’m going to vote for her even harder”

Yes, she’s been at the ICE facility constantly for a while now. She was the woman where video was captured of an ICE agent picking her up and slamming her down on the ground.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

She should press charges but of course everyone "won't recall" which agent that is…

Yup. Been following her on BlueSky. She's the real deal.

Not super familiar with her, but she's been on a couple podcasts Ive listened to and seems to be legit.

This should be good for her, assuming she doesn't get jailed.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump will approve of her being in the government if she’s a criminal, right?

Welcome to America. The first amendment only applies to fascists.

They also always been hogging the 2nd for much the same reason. It was supposed to protect from tyranny.

I just donated to her campaign fund, not a lot but more effective than spewing anger over what they did to her.

Yeah, this will hopefully end up being a huge boon to her campaign. It’s proof that she’s not just an empty talking head; She actually puts her words into action. People are sick and tired of out-of-touch nonagenarian lawmakers shitting in the pool right before they get out.

A cute women that knows what she wants?
Silence her!

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Her appearance has nothing to do with this.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 51 points 1 week ago (36 children)

i follow her, she's awesome and I really hope she wins.

but it would be false to claim her youth and aesthetic don't help her charisma.

it does, but that doesn't mean she isn't serious or competent.

Hope she wins, we need her and people like her.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

helps and hurts. wish I was in her geography as I would vote for her.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I think it hurts AOC more than it hurts Kat, and I can't put my finger on why. Both are attractive and intelligent small women with a "young" look, but I think AOC has to fight a little harder to come off as a "serious adult". Maybe it's ethnicity, but I don't think that quite accounts for it. Might be just me.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

doesn't really hurt her. just bigots will insult her for being pretty, or if she wasn't, they would insult her for not being pretty. they'll always use misogyny against any woman who's against them.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don't think being a young woman has ANY negative affect on being elected in the USA?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i meant that conservatives are going to hate her no matter what.

She could be a 60 year old grandma, and they'll use that against her.

if course she has an uphill battle.

Kat made a post on Bluesky once where she showed a tweet by a Republican who was asking people to "stop posting photos of [Kat] when they attack her because she's genuinely attractive and that makes the attack not land" or something along those lines. I wish I'd saved it. It was a solid self-burn.

That Republican was basically afraid that Kat would steal male GOP votes simply by looking good lol

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

To her opponents, appearance is basically the whole of her worth.

I mean, it kinda does. The fact that she is young, attractive, and media savvy means that people will pay more attention to her (not saying that's good, just that it's how our society works). The more attention she gets, the more of a threat she is to the regime, which is why the they're trying to prosecute her for getting assaulted by ICE.

Aren't you a smart one

Finally someone with some balls. Funny how it’s a woman though.

Good on her.
