Her qualifications in this case are irrelevant. She could be the most overqualified person on the planet and she still wouldn't be the right person for the job for as long as she insists on pursuing her political agenda. I'm surprised that Reddit decided to hire someone so obviously incompatible with the overall community culture as her.
