Fuckin' Internet, man

That said, I legit don't know why she's running for Congress in Massachusetts. This article did not specify whose seat she'd be gunning for, but all 9 of them are Dems, and none of them have particularly chosen a side in the factional struggle to my knowledge. Her mission statement was this

quote:

“The other reason I’m running is because I’m ready for a bolder Democratic Party. I didn’t personally support Sanders in the primary, but he tapped into a very powerful disconnect between our party’s leadership and our base. We want leaders that will fight for us, and all too often the Democrats don’t stand up to the fringe extreme of the Republican Party. I’ve been called a lot of names over my career, but I’ve never been told I’m scared of a fight. You know just how passionate I am about women in tech. But I believe we’ve hit an asymptote with what activism in tech can accomplish. People are aware of the problem, but all that’s getting done is window dressing. We don’t need more catered women in tech lunches, we don’t need speeches – we need structural bias against us to stop. And I think women in tech serving in the legislative branch is the next step forward.”

which is really vague apart from wanting to be an advocate for women in tech. Specifically she managed to be ambiguous as hell about Sanders and thereby about the current Dem factional struggle. I legit do not know what the end goal of this candidacy is, apart from probably being told "you should run for office" repeatedly by Internet people and taking that advice seriously.

I just realized that what I posted as Wu's mission statement was actually the secondary mission statement; the primary one was even vaguer

quote:

“The reason I decided to run is simple: [President-elect Donald] Trump is terrifyingly now in the White House. I can’t sit by making pleasant video game distractions for the next four years while the constitution is under assault. Hillary [Clinton] ran a brave marathon, and now it’s time for women of my generation to pick up that baton and commit to public service.”

Her mission statement is that she personally wants to be in Congress because that's better than doing nothing, which sounds like a great reason for her to vote for herself

see the thing about the word "idpol" is that it technically means "the politics of identity (race, gender, religion, etc.)" but is often used to refer to "the politics of identity to the exclusion of all else", which is what people who go all :argh: IDPOL!!! :argh: are gnashing their teeth about

but you're right about her one thing she cares about being feminism, i don't even think it's intersectional feminism - just tech lady feminism. tunney feminism.
