when it comes to politics.

Obviously we have a very different opinion of what a good ad is. As I said, the class divide in the replies is very evident and I couldn't help but notice how you used the word "Socialist" in a pejorative. Wellp, I'm a Socialist as well. And many of us can relate to what she's saying, again, including me. And I hope she wins because we need more like her on Congress who knows what's up and can relate directly to poor & working class people because she's not on the outside looking in but actually living it from her car where she spends each & every night.

I think it's time this country had more people in Congress who directly represent every day people. And Rebecca is just that.
