... and that came from within the progressive sphere. I remember how she was attacked and accused of not being a "true New Yorker" when she ran for Senate.

Welcome to politics, Kat! Toughen-up! --- I should tell you that attacking the messenger is a weak response (oh no, evil AIPAC, ignore everything they say) but you did a respectable job of responding directly to the accusations. Good for you!

But it appears that the frontrunner in this contest holds a comfortable lead. Bliss occupies the "somewhat liberal" lane of the race. He is seen as a "bridge" candidate who combines progressive activism with nearly two decades of experience in government. People still value experience, apparently. At age 26, she's thee years younger than aoc was 29 and Madison Cawthorn was 25 years old when he was elected.
