My initial reaction was, if she's one of the people going on anonymously here about Amy DeGise: No way.

I loathe anyone to do with county government here, but the campaign against Amy DeGise has somehow gotten to be even more horrible than Amy DeGise.

But, if Guy is endorsed by Murphy, well... Murphy is even more horrible than the Amy DeGise bashers. That's a whole different level of Liberty State Park-destroying evil.

I think she's been fairly publicly critical of DeGise. I don't know about anonymously.

What kind of mind thinks going easy on Amy Degise is a winning strategy in the race to replace her corrupt father?

/u/podkayne3000 didn't say the thing for which you are criticizing him or her. That user stated that his or her view is that the DeGise critics are bad and he or she doesn't want to support them. No statement about what the best strategy is, just a totally reasonable statement about personal political preferences.

Amy DeGise redditors are on the same level as "orange man bad"/Marvel/FunkoPop redditors

I think that Amy DeGise is awful and have my own reasons for loathing the HCDO. But you’re not especially appealing, either.

Did I touch a nerve with the Marvel and FunkoPop references?

No. I don't understand the references. But the fact that you're responding to my comment with insults about what kind of person I am is an example, in my mind, about why you're not appealing.

Some Amy DeGise opponents on r/JerseyCity post interesting information about her driving record and housing arrangements. I enjoy reading that kind of post.

Other people post a stream of meme posts and other attempts at humor implying that she's the worst person on Earth. If people post a few of those, fine. Certainly, other Redditors have a right to post things like that; not every post on Reddit has to be one I like.

But, after a certain point, the stream of hostile, not-very-funny attempts at humor get old. The question becomes less about why Amy DeGise is still in office and more about the motives of the people obsessed with her.

Again: You have a right be obsessively hostile toward Amy DeGise, as long as you're obeying subreddit rules, Reddit rules and antistalking laws.

But exercising that right too often could backfire and make Amy DeGise start to look like a victim.
