Second, on the endorsement itself. I don’t think I’ve ever spoken about this, but in 2024, I met the congresswoman for the first time ever at the DNC. A bunch of us had spent the night outside the center hoping for *most importantly policy concessions* but at least a symbolic gesture of *any* Palestinian speaker. Once my name was out there, we were immediately flooded. For context, as state legislators in Georgia we are part time, don’t have staff outside of one admin who 8 of us share, and anyone we can fundraise to bring on. AOC’s team reached out to me directly to help. I didn’t even know what to ask for. That entire period was beyond overwhelming. When she and I finally met, it was just so she can check in on me. Her team pushed for a Palestinian speaker hard. A week later, her team sent out a fundraising email for us so we can have a little security and more staff support. Again, we didn’t ask. They just helped. I’m not naive. They could’ve used me considering the discourse at the time. They didn’t. They quietly worked to help. That matters especially because they’ll tell you I have been very honest about all the discourse around the genocide. They came to Georgia to talk data centers btw. No rallies. No press. But because of my amazing team and the work they’ve put in, her team made clear an endorsement is on the table, and we were ecstatic.

Who you think is more important between Sparxie and Yaoguang for SW999 says alot about ones understanding of the game.
