What does this mean? Are you one of those narcissists in Alexandria who thinks anyone who doesn’t subscribe to your version of the local Dem party isn’t really a Democrat? Or the portion that likes to deride women who may not do as well with public speaking and link it to their intelligence?

I am really tired of this comparison, as well as the comments that she isn’t smart. Quite honestly, they are disgraceful and probably come from a particular cohort of AlxDems that seem oddly hell bent on destroying other Dems. It’s a terrible look.

And it’s equally pathetic that this group has solicited significant outside funds to support their campaigns. When a candidate’s chances of election are largely based on name recognition, I am really uncomfortable with the outside resources and money flowing into this campaign cycle. I am looking at you, Gaskins and O’Connell.

Given the historically very low turnout for off-year primaries, I'd guess most who show up to vote are pretty well-versed on the candidates and issues - especially in a highly educated and political town like Alexandria.
