Completely outside of any ideological considerations, Ms Rachel has a dysregulated affect and is mentally not OK. This would be equally true if she talked about Jesus instead of doing propaganda for Mamdani. Her dysfunction is on a completely different level than politics.
That she very successfully sells her mental issues is not surprising. Such people are often very entertaining. We look at them and feel comforted by the feeling that our own dysfunction is nothing compared to theirs.

Exactly how does Ms. Rachel have a dysregulated affect, her stuff is cutesy and twee to a nauseating degree but unfortunately as a preschool teacher I have to sit through her videos. I’m more concerned that she’s an advisor to a mayor, she has no experience and she ought to stick to making educational videos for toddlers

Overemoting. Weird posture, too. IMO some of it is a side-effect of interacting primarily with a camera, while thinking about interacting with young children… weird affect.
But I have seen the exact same affect with diagnosed bipolar people.

They make me very uncomfortable. I don’t understand how people find it entertaining. Same deal with Robin Williams: never could watch the guy without wanting to leave the room or crawl out of my own skin, he was so obviously, transparently unbalanced. Desperately, pathologically attention-seeking. *Why* do so many people like that?
