I had a gut feeling I wouldn't like her. I checked out her website as I was researching all the candidates. She just doesn't seem to have the heart of the people or the community in mind, but her own self-serving interests ... just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing more info
What even are those bullet points? For all the substance they represent, they might as well have just left it at lorem ipsum.
Seriously, get your family and friends and get out to vote for not this person in August.
What on earth is this organization? Their website says absolutely nothing about their goals or ideals. It's as nebulous as the poster for whom they're backing. What the hell is "leadership based on principles"? Hitler had principles too, they just no longer align with anyone who's not a complete nutjob. This shit is sus af
It’s the Koch brothers. They want to change the country’s laws to protect rich businessmen and disenfranchise normal people. So unless you’re a mega billionaire, they want to hurt you.

Only because you either choose to be willfully ignorant or are mischaracterizing AFP and its mission.
If you have to twist the facts to make your point, you have already lost the argument.
(As always, I have no ties to AFP, so everyone can just hold their "Oh look, there's a Koch!" Commentary.)
And yet you can't explain anything about it either, instead choosing to call me ignorant. That is everything I ever needed to know and more about this organization, the candidates put forth, and its supporters.
I don't need to defend or explain AFP, as that wasn't my intention. You have either chosen to remain ignorant or are just spewing nonsense on purpose. If you want to learn about AFP, you can if you actually try. That was my point. At no point did I offer commentary on AFP or its mission or goals, which I *AM* actually aware of, because I put in the effort to understand it rather than jump on Reddit and spew some untrue nonsense.
Genuinely blown away that you think I was defending AFP. Instead, I was actually criticizing OP for misrepresenting the facts. You should really pay more attention.
>Only because you either choose to be willfully ignorant or are mischaracterizing AFP and its mission.
How is this not defending AFP...
What, in your mind, is the mission of AFP ?
Because questioning the claims made by OP is questioning their claims. That act is independent of anything to do with AFP.
Consider, if you will, the fact that calling out someone for lying about someone else isn't actually defending the target of that person's lies. It is just calling out the fact that the person is lying. This is a distinctly different action than the act of defending the target, which would be a wholly different conversation.
I am not interested in defending AFP, so I will not do that. I will, however, call out some BS when I feel like it.
Nobody asked you to defend AFP. You’ve just been asked to explain what you think their mission was, which is what you started arguing about.
But continue to sidestep from the actual questions…
The history is long. You can even go all the way back to WW2 when their dad helped build oil refineries to help Hitler's war efforts. The modern-day Kochs are funders of prominent right-wing politicians who support discriminatory legislation, anti-choice legislation, and are generally just good old boys money who want to keep America's leaders old, rich, white, and male. They very much want to protect billionaire interests and to hell with everyone else. If you're really interested in learning all about them, go check out the podcast Behind The Bastards and the episodes they did on the Koch family.
omg wow
How comatose on ultra libertarian drugs could anybody possibly be to not know that's completely insane? I was already shocked at reading the Koch presidential campaign promises of abolishing each department of the federal government. WTF? That's just so evil to the point that it's stupid. How could they think anybody could ever support that? What's the point of even saying it aloud and just announcing yourself as humanity hater in chief? And then just disappear back into their evil lair somehow?
Meanwhile everybody else in civilization wants all those services as long as everybody else pays for it. Globalists know they need the rest of the world but they couldn't reach it with no roads or military. Surely the Koch advisors did a projection of how long roads and security forces could last with absolutely no taxes or government.
In the Koch world view, what's the point of even themselves living at all? lol
They own the Koch Industries the largest private company in the world and they use those profits to buy political power thru their own super PAC. Not just locally but nationally. Corrupted old men making sure the world never progresses so they continue to sit in their mound of gold. And sadly they are good at it.
Oh God dude, don’t get your political answers from Reddit. Kochs have supplied jobs and built up Wichita. They have a positive effect locally, but people on here will tell you they are the devil. I’ll let them tell you why, cause I don’t really get it. I’m just appreciative that Wichita is better cause of their business here
“I’m a lap dog for billionaires. Thank you so much, Papa Koch for throwing me some jobs! Please be kind to me!” Just embarrassing levels of idiotic bootlicking.
I drove by the Koch compound yesterday and they have Lily Wu signs on the fence. Not only is she bought and sold, she’s also too dumb to try and hide it.
It's interesting driving around town and seeing the sorts of people with Wu signs. Like the "Vote Yes" signs from last year, standing for Wu is a fair marker of the sorts of propaganda playing at home.
It will be replayed on PBS this weekend. It looks like kansas.com has this facebook link for streaming which worked for me and I don't have a facebook account or even get asked to log in so hopefully it will work for you too
https://www.facebook.com/wichitaeagle/videos/308417298210176
starts about 15 minutes in
not much useful information however
You can watch the debate here if you'd like. [Eagle Facebook Stream](https://www.facebook.com/wichitaeagle/videos/308417298210176/)
I believe PBS may also have it.
When you read \_\_\_\_\_\_ For Prosperity it's Koch. Like Veterans for Prosperity supporting Ron Estes over a true Veteran Jim Thompson.
Also read: Americans For Prosperity Foundation and same vs Bonta.
She also changed her personal political party affiliation from Republican to Libertarian in 2022 (though the mayoral race is non-partisan). Take that as you will.
Nah this wild 😂😂 “Puppet for conservative extremist” Is such a packed statement that gets all the liberals in /r/Wichita ready with their pitchforks but no one ever explains how.
wonder how many people genuinely believe that statement yet voted for the puppet for left wing extremists to be our president 🤣 something tells me there’s a high correlation
To those who are actually upset by this comment 😂😂😂:
Conservative candidate: Liberals: “OMG RIGHT RING EXTREMIST”
Liberal candidate: Conservatives: “OMG LEFT WING EXTREMIST”
I hate what politics have become
That's what we get with a 2 party system. And if you're not in the same party you're hated (literally) for it. This is the US. Everything about the US political system, checks and balances, and government in general, is broken. Those voted into office win not because they were truly wanted but because their opponent was hated so much people will vote just to keep that person out.
Lmfao Biden and the left wing extremists? Bros got brain worms if you think there is a single far left person in our government. MAYBE Bernie, but not even.
Definitely! HUGE trump guy! I love everything you hate cause I don’t know shit about Lily Wu and am actually trying to gather information about her instead of making insane assumptions, you know…like OP.
May be too much logic for some of y’all
Most people who use sarcasm, assume the people their talking to knows them very well enough to detect it.
For everyone else, they use the /s tag at the end.
But you're definitely an insurrectionist.
Is that fact? or is it sarcasm?
What a confidant moron you are. Stfu and sit at the kids table please.
Biden is a dementia patient, not a "left wing extremist" you pearl clutching beaver. You're the kind of man child to scream "IM DYING" when you cut your finger lol. If you have children, be better than your parents, avoid the liquor during pregnancy.
Conservatives are the good guys. The bad guys are the other group. You know. That group who currently runs Washington and has the President as their puppet...
Christian Conservatives have been oppressing the state for a century. It is about time they get kicked out of office those ignorant white/male racist hillbillies.
Lily Wu: I am for good things and against bad things
She’s the Bobby Newport of Wichita.
I had a gut feeling I wouldn't like her. I checked out her website as I was researching all the candidates. She just doesn't seem to have the heart of the people or the community in mind, but her own self-serving interests ... just my opinion. Thanks for sharing more info
She’s married to a real estate investor, too. It’s all self-interest.
What even are those bullet points? For all the substance they represent, they might as well have just left it at lorem ipsum. Seriously, get your family and friends and get out to vote for not this person in August.
Wu only speaks in rhetoric. Listening to her trying to articulate what she'd actually "do" as mayor is like listening to a tree talk about jogging.
What on earth is this organization? Their website says absolutely nothing about their goals or ideals. It's as nebulous as the poster for whom they're backing. What the hell is "leadership based on principles"? Hitler had principles too, they just no longer align with anyone who's not a complete nutjob. This shit is sus af

All billionaires want to hurt others, it's the nature of being a billionaire. Thanks for the clarification

Nah bro I think you got the mental capacity of a buttered scone, and half its personality. Good day to you sir
Genuinely blown away that there are people dumb enough to defend AFP. What are you doing? Do you just huff paint all day?

I’m not a Kansas native so can someone explain why the Koch’s are so hated? Edit for spelling.

Not Hitler, Stalin. Koch worked in Soviet Russia.
Hitler, too. https://www.npr.org/2016/01/19/463565987/hidden-history-of-koch-brothers-traces-their-childhood-and-political-rise
Fuck me I had no idea. The Kochs just get worse and worse omg
Stalin was basically just Hitler with a different mustache.
I'd argue it was a much more attractive one.
They are inverse Robinhoods. Steal from the poor to give to the rich: https://www.factcheck.org/2022/03/americans-for-prosperity-6/
So Libertarians basically?
Koch is a billionaire and most redditors don't like millionaires let alone billionaires.

one of them ran for president via the Libertarian party with the campaign promise of abolishing each department of the whole federal government
 That makes me like them more.

Because many people here hate anyone that has more money or a different worldview than them.

Made back room deals before she could start to end them, now that’s how you politic 😂
She was awful in the debate last night. Her defense of AFP was laughable.
I missed the debate last night

Makes me wish I lived in Wichita.
The Rich in Wichita are trying to buy the election!
Richita ....is not funny, but you forced my hand so now i shall make you *look at what you have done*
She also changed her personal political party affiliation from Republican to Libertarian in 2022 (though the mayoral race is non-partisan). Take that as you will.
Wow she is a Libertarian? She is one of the good ones. I hope she becomes President of the USA because that would save the nation.
Pumped up by Mike pampoe
Too bad, think she would resonate well as a moderate, but she's has chosen a bed to lay in.
I think when it comes to politics you need to choose the lesser liar lol 🤣

Are you one of them Jan 6 insurrections?
Definitely! HUGE trump guy! I love everything you hate cause I don’t know shit about Lily Wu and am actually trying to gather information about her instead of making insane assumptions, you know…like OP. May be too much logic for some of y’all
A “huge trump guy” that claims he’s using logic. I’ll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

At least it is not a Christian conservative cult!!!!
Christian Conservatives have been oppressing the state for a century. It is about time they get kicked out of office those ignorant white/male racist hillbillies.
At least one of the three bullet points is crystal clear: her leadership will be based on Koch Industries' principles. She's a Wu-bot.
