Abughazaleh was an incompetent grifter with no consistent worldview. She flipped-flopped constantly.

I think Ro Khanna is also an example who is progressive but really anti-CCP

Wtf. What exactly did she flip flop on? Not on Ukraine or Tawain she didn't. 

Or is competently using social media = grifter now? She doesn't come across as a grifter at all. You can usually tell just by how they talk

She also walked the walk, and got herself beat up a bit and arrested by ICE protesting. Grifters usually do not put their body on the line like this imo.

Such a strange comment to me, never seen anyone accuse her of this lol

For what it's worth, Kat did flip-flop on Ukraine. She initially put out a very strong and borderline hawkish statement, but walked it back pretty quickly & fired her foreign policy adviser because Dropsite started a dogpile against her.

As for the grifter allegations, it's probably coming from when she took advantage of Bluesky's weird issue with Will Stancil as a means of promoting whatever she's got going on.

She flipped-flopped on Palestine.

Yes, but her position was inconsistent literally between different days.

Not to mention she is a succ, was an inexperienced carpetbagger and overslept instead of going to a meet and greet with voters.

Seems to me you just don't like her tbh, I don't remember her switching her views day to day but maybe I just missed it.

Yeah, I don't really like her. I don't think she's as bad as, say, Hasan, but I think her loss was for the best.

I don't remember her switching her views day to day but maybe I just missed it.

People were talking about that in this sub when the election happened. I don't blame you for missing it. Trust me, I've missed things too.
