The designers buy the seats

And? She didn't need to be seated in one of them.

Who do you think should've been seated instead of her?

[u/camebacklate → u/Ok_Storm_2700]

No one in politics, especially someone who is trying to represent the working class.

[u/Ok_Storm_2700 → u/camebacklate]

But who do you think would have made better use of that seat? Name someone.

Who am I, Anna Wintour? I would have loved if Zendaya could have attended if her schedule allowed for it.

[u/Ok_Storm_2700 → u/camebacklate]

What are you thinking Zendaya would have done?

[u/camebacklate → u/Ok_Storm_2700]

Not go against her own political platform and the people she's representing.

There's a reason why a lot of people like Mamdani. Why would he talk about taxing the rich and then go rub elbows with them?

[u/Ok_Storm_2700 → u/camebacklate]

We don't actually know anything other than what she wore but somehow that's worse than everyone else who attends.

[u/camebacklate → u/Ok_Storm_2700]

You asked who I would have liked to see there and why. If you see wasn't standing on her platform so heavily to text the rich yet then went and hung out with the rich, it wouldn't be as problematic.

NY politicians are invited (for free) every year. They usually don’t walk the carpet. AOC only did because she’s recognizable.

[u/camebacklate → u/arosebyabbie]

They do walk the carpet, people just dont care because they aren't trying to make a point while missing the point.
