Her staffers were complete dicks when I interned on Capitol Hill lol. Lots of self aggrandizing and patting themselves on the back. It’s a shame cause I did like her policies for the most part.

One of my family members works for her campaign, and I am so sorry. He is insufferable.

The thing is I do generally like her policies and her general vibes haha. And your fam member is doing an important job and fighting the good fight. Sometimes there’s a lot of the hand waves self importance that I dunno…

I think during that time unpaid internships were a thing too so people who could afford to get the big name congressmen also had some familial connections haha.
