US politics are hyper polarized and she’s a great face for the Dems and she’s often in the spotlight becuase if it by both sides. I’ve brought this up in conversation with someone that “hated” her and I really felt like I got to him how skewed our views are by media bubbles.
Good for you on being able to shed light on the media bubble thing. I have a conservative friend who was talking about “all the schools teaching critical race theory”, and specifically how they’re teaching kids that “all white people are are bad and evil and you should be ashamed”. She assured me that it is definitely 100% happening because she sees news talking about it, and didn’t at all seem to understand what I was saying about a few events getting skewed way out of proportion by media shills.
For starters, she’s smart, young, and competent. That already makes her a stand out in the political arena. She represents her constituency with integrity and voracity. And Furthermore, she’s not bought and paid for.
The GOP hates all of those things about her.
what bills has she sponsored that have passed?
The fact that this is your metric for political acumen throughout this post is frighteningly weird.
The site is a great place to start if you want to find out what a congressperson has actually done. It doesn’t paint the whole picture as committee work is pretty important too and isn’t always represented by a specific bill, but still useful.
In my opinion, she has one huge thing going for her and it’s the fact that she doesn’t belong in a retirement home. We need more young people in Congress, regardless of their party affiliation.
That is another problem with our gerontocracy. Important committee assignments are doled out based on seniority, not aptitude or merit. She could do more, as could people like Porter or Frost, but they are sidelined by the fucking party.

She’s hated for the same reason non Patriots fans used to hate Tom Brady. Because he was good.
What makes her good? Tom Brady won games. What bill has she sponsored that has passed?

Bills that she has sponsored or co-sponsored, including ones that have passed

There is a place for spokespeople to help move people but the job of a congressperson is to move policy.
