One thing was not showing up for other progressives. She seemed to think of the label as a pejorative and I think that cut against her. I think she should have tried to be more squad/ squad adjacent and she really didn’t show up for other members of the squad in her votes or with her voice. That being said I see her defeat in the Senate race as a pure rat-fucking on the part of the DNC, so its a mixed bag. Honestly, I guess I realized what it was that I was often more-so rooting against Porters opponent than I was actually rooting for Porter. But thats also good instinct on her part, picking good fights.
Like I think she could have beat Schiff if she would have tried to be more of a stand-out-progressive in her time in congress. Then she just kind-of continously kept falling short and having melt-down after melt-down, and it was like ‘aight your time is up’.
What turned you against her?

She was mean to people a couple times on camera and has the audacity to have not been born a man.
