fyi the political party she is campaigning for is close the democrat party in the United States.
according to wikipedia this is their ideology
"The party opposes the proposed revision of Article 9 of Japan's postwar constitution.[13][24][25] The party supports the phasing out of nuclear energy in Japan,[26] and government investment in renewable energy.[27] The party does not support the legalization and maintenance of casinos.[28] The party also supports "building a society that supports each other and makes full use of individuality and creativity."[29][30] and this party expresses its support for grassroots democracy and diplomatic pacifism.[31]
The party supported a freeze in the increase of the consumption tax as of 2017,[32][33] and supports a temporary consumption tax cut as of 2020, along with higher taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals.[14]
The party supports LGBT rights and the legalization of same-sex marriage in Japan.[34]"
my opinion is good for her. she has a platform why not use it for something she believes.
