AllNewTypeFaceZero charisma. Bland campaign. Unprepared as she was not able to answer a number of questions during debates. She’s barely eking out a win, which means she’ll be vulnerable come next election. I don’t forsee her having a successful tenure.
If you’re holding her to Mamdani campaign standards, you’re going to be disappointed no matter the candidate.
Let’s let her cook a bit and then decide how she performed.
The lack of charisma, fine, but how do you not have answers to fundamental questions?
Novi SadNot to say such knowledge gaps can’t limit her effectiveness, but from what (little) I’ve read and heard of her, she seems to be fundamentally a community organizer and as mayor will probably work accordingly: She may or may not successfully make up for such gaps by knowing whom to trust both integrity- and competence-wise.
I didn’t watch a ton of the debates, but I didn’t see what you’re talking about. She seemed to be able to answer the questions just fine, although of course not at Mamdani level. Do you have any examples off the top of your head where she flubbed answers?
still better than Bruce
That’s short term thinking. If she doesn’t deliver, it hurts the progressive movement and people won’t give them another chance in the future.
That’s old school thinking. They will smear the progressive movement no matter what Katie does. They call Nancy Pelosi a communist. Wolf has been cried too many times, now those types of attacks are no longer effective.
I hope this helps people realize just how important every vote is.
I was telling an out of town buddy that this is going to come down to neighborhood voting blocks. Wilson had canvasers knocking on doors to talk up Katie. I guess it came down to that.
Could be!
it’s archived
lol
Good, she’s a solid progressive by all accounts and isn’t scandal ridden like her opponent
And she’s won now
hurray!
