but congrats to Rep. Jayapal, she probably was able to send some great fundraising emails about trying to overturn Citizens United.
Normally I’m pretty cynical about performative politics too, but in this case, with how apathetic congressional Democrats have been when it comes to the unravelling of our federal government, it’s nice to see someone performing something that isn’t acquiescence.
Jayapal is also fairly high on my list of “ok politicians”. She did good work before she was a rep, did good work as leader of the progressive caucus, and has done good work as a rep. I think if our government were filled with people like her we would be in a much better place. All that is to say, I’m not sure the progressive rep from Seattle is a great target of derisive comments about fundraising emails which may or may not exist.
I am in Jayapal’s district and have been for a long time. I don’t think I have ever seen a fundraising email from her. I’m sure she does them, but she is generally really good on the issues so I don’t think she has to do as much.
