     @guyjantic Talent, integrity, nucleating an organization around her based on principles she actually believes then inviting the most talented onto staff, keeping lines of communication open with her constituents, and probably the most important in my opinion:

     She focuses on what is important, her constituents, instead of appeasing the reactionary media

     Not derived from anecdotes or experiences meeting her; just an opinion I developed while learning about her and after watching her work

     @guyjantic With how quickly any gains were clawed back, it does hurt, in many ways

     @ekis Thanks. She certainly seems very impressive as a person and candidate. I was just hit hard by two members of The Squad losing their seats due to AIPAC this past summer, and here is Tlaib being outspoken about Gaza and Palestine, then winning her own race by margins far in excess of the margins Harris received.

     It gives me hope.
