She fought the far right online for years. Now you want to do it in Congress

Another competitor has been publicly hostile. Bethani Johnson, a mutant woman who also works on a progressive platform, sees Abu Ghazial as an enemy. According to Johnson, Abu -Ghazaliya supporters on Bluezki made harsh jokes at their expense, as the treatment that reached the harassment was. Johnson responded by appearing over and over again in the Abu Ghazal office with signs of protest, retail back and forth in her underwear, and made herself vomiting from her doors. Abu Ghazaleh provided an order “chasing without contact” against Johnson to get it to stop.

But the biggest headache in Abgasaleh is Daniel Pace. Biss is a 48 -year -old bitter biss with a wonderful head of silver, a local progressive lover. During the period of a mayor, Ivanston became the first American city to provide compensation to the black population. “Let’s face the billionaire category together,” says his CV at Instagram. He has already canceled approvals from American Senator Elizabeth Warren and many unions. In a poll conducted by the Abu Gazayla campaign, he emerged as a front man.

However, when I asked Abu Ghazaleh this summer if she was confident of her victory, she answered without hesitation: “Very.” We were sitting on a sofa inside its office, surrounded by the signs drawn by the hand made by the volunteers and the shelves of the free elements offered to society, from books to children’s napkins. She did not want to discuss her opponents.

“We have momentum,” I continued. The campaign was, in fact, on a roll – continued to flow – and recorded its first great support at the end of July from the American actor Ro khanna from California, which she described as “the best that the Democratic Party should offer.”

She is hard on her ground game, too, she often stops three to six campaigns a day. She rented the director of Gen Z, Sam Winberg, who lived in Ivston as a child; They focus on a series of programs and events directed towards traditional aid, from capturing garbage in the gardens enjoyed by the lake and local parks to parties that were the cost of entering plots or boxes of towels or supplies for the food bank at the headquarters. In August, they handed over hundreds of backpacks full of school supplies for local children. The reception of this analog policy was positive. While visiting her office this summer, I saw people coming to drop the donations – one man arrived with a honest number of computer screens – and to capture supplies such as plugin and children’s food.

Abu Ghazalla was compared to Zahran Mamdani, the mayor’s prize -winning municipality, another young man, two cars, with a short video. Mamdani’s success arose from more than just his game on the Internet, although he was not honored in New Yorker, who was already a state legislator; In addition, his opponent, Andrew Como, was real chips with a turbulent campaign. In some respects, Abu Ghazaliyeh’s nomination is closely like Diga Fox, which is the creator of the Gen Z, who lost a great in Arizona Elementary. Like Abgasala, Foxx had to ascend against a progressive colleague. It is clear that Abu Ghazaliyah is trying to extract lessons from campaigns like Mamdani, because it focuses on meeting the largest possible number of components personally and is concerned with special attention to people who may not vote at all.

One afternoon, its headquarters were filled with about 40 people who appeared to be appointed to Canvass’s blocks this fall. (More than 6000 people have registered to volunteer in total.) Abu Gharadah’s strategy depends on motivating people who feel isolated from the prevailing policy, and many volunteers seem more likely to have an online forum on Peter Krupotkin’s business before they previously assisted in the democracy campaign.
