1. her district is all of Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs---Somalis are not a "large portion of her votes." She could win without a single Somali vote
2. her base is progressive/educated people and all her actions so far resonate with her base...minus the affair, which is a personal issue not a political one
3. the issues Somalis face are not ones that can be addressed by government. somalis are fucked over by their own maladaptive culture and social model---government cant fix that, especially a single congresswoman. Besides, Ilhan is an American politican and not a Somali one
