Well you are certainly helping make her relevant
That word isn't really as flattering as some believe it to be. And if that's the BEST her followers can come up with, then her career may not be as long as (or as meaningful as, or as influential as, or as inspiring as, or as persuasive as) someone like Hillary Clinton.
All I'm saying is that these veiled comparisons that she's the "next Hillary Clinton" or that she has all the import and stature as HRC are premature. Very premature and undeserved.
Who knows what the future holds, but her newbie mistakes and missteps can't be ignored or glossed over, especially if she (or her followers) expect her to learn anything from them. She should spend more time wading around her own local pond before jumping into the deep end of the national pool and before associating herself with organizations that regularly smear Democrats and the Democratic party.
Maybe she'll improve as she gets older and more mature. Let's hope so.

She's not your research assistant. Blaming DU'ers for stuff you fantasized they said is dumb.

Now that is just absurd. Hillary didn't join a group funded by an ex Republican.

Justice Democrats haven't won a single election. A few of their endorsed candidates have, though.

Someone who never voted for a Republican in their life isn't an "ex-Republican."

The concerns are what the office she's seeking are about. She's not a tourist. She lives in NYC.
