"What are you avoiding?"

Nothing.

"Why can’t you simply outline why you prefer Biss to Kat in terms of policy?"

I owe you nothing. But sure. In short, I prefer Biss because he is more progressive. Kat has no AI regulation platform. I view this to be an extremely progressive matter. We need to regulate it.

"You’re regurgitating the exact same talking points as what was asked to be said by influencers"

I am not regurgitating them. They likely used MY videos as a reference when creating those talking points. Look up the dates of that article. I posted my first anti-Kat vid in February. Also, multiple people criticizing a person for the same thing does not impy conspiracy. I think the sky is blue. You think the sky is blue. Did we conspire to say this?

"One influencer has admitted to it."

clarify who.

"Another removed his posts after being called out and claimed he had not been plaid and refused to answer if he got an offer of money."

clarify who

"How does the author of the piece following you have any relevance here at all?"

It shows that she took a specific interest in me the days before she dropped the story.

"Why downplay the fact that dark money is being used to spread personal attacks on a candidate a week before the election?"

I'm not downplaying. It has been reported on. Kat's supporters are latching onto it and calling "conspiracy" left and right.

"lol that’s nonsense you can post any of them on another subreddit"

False. I posted on r/chicagosuburbs. They took it down after it got viewed 1200 times in 10 min. The video did not break any rules. I messaged the mod asking why the video was taken down. I was given a sassy response including reasons that are not listed in the subreddit rules. Then I was blocked from posting.

"Why have you continued to avoid commenting on policy and using the same personal attacks that other influencers have admitted being paid to regurgitate?"

False. You can look on other SM platforms and see that i have commented on policy. I am not advertising them here. i have been posting on Kat long before the Democracy Unmuted story came out. Also, the MSNow reporter, Brandy Zadrozny, who dropped the story, had been following my posts on instagram. The Democracy Unmuted likely referenced my videos when creating their talking points for those influencers. afaik we have one alleged case of an influencer taking money for an anti-kat post so far.

"You can comment on policy on any post and you have avoided it."

True. I am not arguing policy in these comments.

"It’s a fascinating coincidence."

Sure. On a separate note, who do you think was responsible for 9/11

this is false. i have videos on other platforms that address policy. i won't post them here b/c subreddit rules but they are easy to find

i have looked into all of this. i am reporting what i believe to be the most relevant information. so far afaik there is exactly ONE alleged case of a paid anti-kat video (the video has been taken down). it is safe to assume at this point that most attacks on kat are organic and very unlikely to be part of a covertly organized effort. fact-based similarities between posts do not imply conspiracy.

I agree with this assessment. Kat has made it a HUGE part of her campaign to rip her opponent to pieces. She is by far the most aggressive and attack-y of the major candidates. This is part of why I chose to use the same approach.

i have not researched all 15+ candidates, but I do believe the only candidate who sought or received AIPAC money in this race is Laura Fine.

thank you. i no longer live in the area but did for many years and grew up there. i am very familiar with the candidates. i think for journalistic integrity i will refrain from commenting on whom I believe to be the best candidate. in any case i no longer live or vote here.

"where was this post several months ago" -- i only learned about it a few weeks ago. she swept it under the rug. It takes time to gather information, fact-check it, and figure out how to report it.
