    honestly it seems like you are kind of obsessed with her.

    I’m annoyed with how people push her as a forefront of progressive politics when her politics are relatively normal. It’s extremely relevant to me because I live in il-9, which will obviously make me much more invested than a typical lemmy user.

    Do you believe she would oppose bike lanes and walkability?

    No, but I’d rather a candidate who consistently and strongly pushes rather than being passively supportive

    but you haven’t been painting her as just someone with boilerplate politics

    I’m pretty sure I stated her politics were neomal for the district multiple times in this convo.

    I live in Switzerland, we have no Lobbying laws, that happens all the time here, but what gives you the idea Kat has been bought?

    It’s not as much I think she’s bought as much as I think it demonstrates a lack of loyalty to the community typical to be people who end up corrupt. Basically, a risk factor.

    I’m pretty sure all languages originating in Europe use the system.

    English is my native language, but Japanese is my 2nd

      I think we should try to balance public image with solid policies. We live in hard times globally as left-wing people, we can’t afford to throw away solid people because they aren’t radical enough.

      Fair, vote for someone else, but if she has publicity and solid, if not perfect, views, she’s still a positive force globally.

      Yes, your rage is just weird.

      My assumption is every politician will be corrupt in some way, I will always try to push society to the left, even if it’s just a tiny bit.

      Japanese seems to have N1-N5 levels, it’s similar. A1-3 are pretty much fluent, B1-3 can do daily life in the language, C1-3 is the basics.

      Gonna assume your japanese would be A level, since you mention it as your second language, props for that.

        She’s not pushing anything to the left. Again, not special for the district in question. Against the other front runners she’s about the same, possibly only more left on immigration.

        She’s blatantly.vote buying, pretending she’ll have the power to do things she will not and buying things with campaign funds to just give out… That’s vote buying in my opinion. Over promising too far to be reasonable. Her lying about moving into the district is also just off the bat lying, also not ideal for a politician.

        I’m closest to a high b1 level likely. I don’t fit into traditional levels very well in the n system as it focuses primarily on comprehension without no speaking input. And my knowledge acquisition is random. I would pass an n2, and would certainly fail n1. I consider it a 2nd language because I can communicate complex thoughts in it.

          I think I know what your problem is, you’re an egoist, you only care about yourself, you don’t even view the rise of fascism as a problem, as long as your life doesn’t change. You’re a collaborator.

          If you think using your campaign funds to give back to people is vote buying, you’re not thinking from the view of a community.

          Your japanese answer just proves my first point, that’s the system for Japanese, and if you have problems with comprehension, have you considered that maybe that’s the reason they focus on comprehension?

            Again with the wild accusations. Like when you pretend I’m racist, you bought into kat’s online image and think she’s the only one who will do anything.

            If you think using your campaign funds to give back to people is vote buying, you’re not thinking from the view of a community.

            “Give back” is not what she’s doing though. She’s pretending things aren’t supplied, and buying them to give away. Things that are already given.

            … I don’t have problems with comprehension., for the things at my level… that wasn’t what I was trying to say
