42. I don't like her fashion "sense", but that is not why she is not

a serious legislator. As far as her clothes, they scream "look at me" and nothing else. If she's trying to be shocking, she doesn't shock me. Her style is garish, but also unoriginal. Everything is vintage. A lot of it could have been worn in the fifties. Many like the outfit pictured is obviously right out of the sixties. Sometimes she does eighties or nineties throwbacks. Unoriginal attention seeking is more boring than anything else. What makes her not serious is her positions on issues.

What I'm hearing is that he's judgemental and a poor ally. Why is "sexuality" in quotes? lapucelle Aug 2021 #49
