I know what those words mean, but not why failing to do so would make an AG a cynical fucking cunt.
You wanted her to launch a popular campaign? I mean, many AGs are appointed.
You don't know why failing to be popular is a problem? Or why betraying her constituents for the powerful. Or for only launching perfunctionary attacks on big money. Or by attacking the first amendment under false pretenses in defense of the worst people in the world.
And I'm the asshole, got it. Hard to see why the other party won with all that understanding you got there.
If she’s a cynical fucking cunt, why would you want her to be popular? More to the point, why would you fault her for not campaigning to be popular? Wouldn’t you benefit from her unpopularity? It doesn’t make sense.
Prosecuting anti-Israel protestors, or whatever the story is there - that’s understandable. That’s a common story we’ve seen many times for a few years now.
Perfunctory attacks on Big Money seems like a good thing though. Why is that bad? You’re saying the attacks are for show and she has no intention to do anything but hold a press conference about it? If so, also understandable, but just needed a little more detail there.
