  Not at all. Ilhan Omar is a nobody member of the House. One of 435. The bigger the platform you give her, the more she represents what a Democrat is. Good luck winning the rust belt with Ilhan Omar being one of the top five or six people that come to mind when a person hears "Democrat" >
  
  We really concern trolling about this shit in 2023? She’s been front and center as a Democrat for the past half decade.  The rust belt isn’t going to swing between D and R because of Ilhan Omar. >
  
  Front and center? Of the tiny percentage of people who know who the squad are, most could only name AOC. I think you're really overestimating how much the average voter follows politics. >
  
  That's the truth of it. A lot of people treat politics like religion. Just sort of passed down to them by their parents, with only a vague understanding of what any of it means
