I don’t understand how someone with this kind of record gets on a party ticket.

In that ward, there were only three names on the primary ballot for three slots. I'm not sure if it's apathy on the part of the residents or party leadership discouraging more than the cherry picked candidates from filing. Add to that a devoted set of fans who don't see a career criminal and nut job who gives many groups a bad name, but a strong and devoted yet terribly misunderstood person who has overcome so many obstacles and challenges and is entitled to the support of the full community.

This is not a congressional seat. There is no cherry picking in the nh house. Anyone who meets the criteria can pay $2 and run for this office.

I don’t know about this individual, but sometimes there is only one person who files to run in the primary for a given seat. IIRC there was a Republican rep from Nashua who had run unopposed in the primary. He won in the general election, but ended up resigning sometime later (for reasons?)

Precisely because he/she is transsexual.

They or whatever was elevated precisely because their demographic is the new favorites of 40 yo white women who get brunch

In my observation transexual people being favored would be an exceedingly rare exception. This person has a troubled background of their own making, gender identity is irrelevant to that.

Did you even read the article? It refers to her gender 14 times. I assume you’ve never had your gender identity referred to as ‘or whatever’? Put down the conspiracy rags and pick up a book once in a while…
