She didn't get into this for socialism or ideology, she got into this with a vague idea that she could do something to make things better for people after seeing that others were not

Did she, though? I'm increasingly convinced that Joe Crowley was deliberately sacrificed as part of an effort to capture and divert the populist energy that was in the air. She definitely has connections from her internships and fell in line after a single milquetoast protest

Her whole "just a lil bartender blue collar worker!!" schtick was entirely calculated, she went from being an aide in a political office to bartending for less than a year directly into campaigning for her seat. She quit her lanyard job so she could pad her resume with one single blue collar job for her run.
