    So I’m not from the USA and have heard the argument that she’s suspicious because she’s out of district a couple of times. So why is that bad? (I have no clue about american politics so I hope the question isn’t dumb)

      Its not, they are making bad faith arguments because they dont like progressive politics where your views and policies actually help people. They want to continue with fascist politics

        It is. Usa politicians are meant as representatives of their districts, never living there brings question to that.

        I’m active in politics and extremely progressive. I just don’t want someone with blatantly suspicious origins to be my congressperson.

      Usa politicians are meant to represent their districts, and be in tune with their issues. Others often fail at that, but our current one is extremely active replying to calls and fixing issues. As such, having one that isn’t from the district brings to question if they will be able to continue the actual connection, and draws question on if they’ll actually understand our district’s issues and goals.

      That said, our current one is old af and does need a replacement. I just don’t want it to be from out of district.
