She graduated in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in international affairs, and looked for jobs in progressive politics. So far, no attempt to get a law degree. Instead, she's tended bar and worked as a producer for Media Matters, then got laid off.
Became a TikTok showoff, works for Mother Jones, called Kamala dumb, wrote in The New Republic that "deally, a new party (or several!) would emerge" from the Democratic Party's failure, but "in the interim [...] new blood, motivated by radical change rather than stagnant power, needs to storm [the] ineffective gerontocracy" of the party.
She was registered to vote in the 7th district and didn't even live in the 9th district when she decided to run for Schakowsky's seat. The editorial board of the Chicago Tribune -- not just one op-ed writer -- castigated Abughazaleh, and other Democrats, for using profanity in public statements, admonishing them not to stoop to Trump's level and "debase American politics even further."
In her view, "you have people like Schakowsky who have done a lot more than other people in Congress — but it's still not working" because "the Democratic Party has prioritized decorum and its own structure over actually representing democracy".
News outlets and Abughazaleh herself connected her campaign with the "widespread frustration" with the Democratic Party's leadership among its progressive members, particularly after Donald Trump's rise.[126][127] She also criticized the party for "just continually not listening to voters, not considering any other solutions [...] There's a lot of talk about being a big tent, but it feels like they're only extending that tent to the right, and they're kicking the rest of us out".[66]
Abughazaleh states that she does not intend to be a career politician and is not interested in staying in office indefinitely, should she win.[124] She has said that, to give the next generation a chance to lead, she would want to serve no more than five terms (ten years)...." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kat_Abughazaleh
Enough for her to get a pension. Like Bobert.
She's unstable and divisive, not smart enough to be trainable by the AOC contingent. More importantly you're not paying attention to how she also doesn't really support the Democratic Party -- she didn't say "loss," she said "failure" when she said, "a new party (or several!) would emerge" from the Democratic Party's failure -- overall, just a few issues. Sounds like another Fetterman without any of his governing bona fides. Not what IL or Democrats need.
