      You've better off not caring. She was funding Progressive Victory- which is basically getting terminally online streamer audiences out engaging with voters.

      She's done a lot of left-punching since Gaza, and routinely voices all sorts of shitty opinions about nonbinary people.

    Out of topic, but really random to see a bunch of Brazilians in there, I guess it's because X got banned for some time in Brazil and they all had to use bluesky. Iirc, Felipe Neto was a chud Brazilian youtuber that became a lib/socdem

    From some articles I could find about him

    Neto was a great critic of the Workers' Party (PT) during Dilma Rousseff's government. In 2016, he was a supporter of the pro-coup movement against the former president. In one of his videos, he celebrated after the process was approved, saying: “The presentations in Brasilia are over, now all that's missing is the result for the impeachment of the demon”

    In an interview in June 2017, he said that he would vote for Jair Bolsonaro in order not to vote for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, should they both run in the presidential elections in 2018. In 2020, Neto began to adopt a more critical stance towards Bolsonaro, calling him “genocidal” due to his management during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 2022 presidential elections, he declared his support for Lula da Silva and, upon meeting Rousseff in person, apologized for having supported her impeachment: “Yesterday I was able to look President Dilma in the eye and ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness for having propagated antipetism, coup discourse and hatred of the left. The love she gave me in return was something I can't even explain to you."

    Neto criticized a tribute by the Novo (Ancap, Minor Party) party to the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill. A statue of the former prime minister was the target of anti-racist and anti-fascist demonstrations. “Churchill was a racist, a white supremacist, he considered Indians an 'inferior race'. He advocated poison gas against Kurds, Afghans and 'uncivilized tribes'. He caused millions of deaths in India. Supported Apartheid,” Neto wrote on Twitter.

    Neto was ordered by the São Paulo courts to pay R$5,000 in damages to Bolsonaro MP Paulo Bilynskyj (PL-SP). Last year, the MP paid tribute in the Chamber of Deputies to his Ukrainian grandfather (Bohadan Bilynskyj), who “at the age of 20 fought a world war to free Ukraine from communist clutches”. He then said that he was doing the same as his grandfather, “fighting against the installation of a communist regime in Brazil”

    “It's in our blood to destroy communism,” he said. When he heard about the speech, Felipe Neto posted a comment on the internet saying that Bilynskyj's grandfather was a “Nazi” and that he had fought “in Hitler's army”.
