She's a definite leftist and has accomplished some good things over her career fighting corruption and the like. Before running for Congress (and losing) she did surprisingly well running in a primary for Gov against Andrew Cuomo here in NY. Since losing for Congress she also lost a primary in a Democratic Primary for Attorney General. She had the NY Times endorsement for that race.

So she's not a fringe player but she's not mainstream either. I had generally positive feelings about her before though I thought her career as a candidate herself was over. I am not happy with the OP she wrote attacking Biden however. My feelings about her now are decidedly mixed

Took money from billionaires while telling people not to take money from billionaires.

Anti-corruption expert who hangs out with Glenn Greenwald who encourages theft of government property.

Those are the favorable ones.
