at least unlike the average winner fo the peace prize, she hasn't been in a position to order the killing of anyone else
The problem with a prize given to someone for peace is an assessment of their work. If your job involves maintaining any organized armed group, from soldiers under some flag to state troopers, to county deputees, to city cops, you by default aid or abet criminal activity.
If your job involves any fiscal discourse, from banks or other financial tradings, to manufacturing, to managing operations or some logistics, you by default aid or abet criminal activity.
If your job involves the making of law, which is all legislators in humanity, you by default aid or abet criminal activity.
Criminal activity is activity that harms another regardless of the legality of it. ala why legal slaveowners are still criminals.
For modern relations, when a law enforcer for a city government kills someone the top of the chain of command is responsible for the actions of all under them, and the head of the chain of command is the mayor. When a gun manufacturer makes a weapon, they are not illegal in producing or selling it to anyone, but they are aiding or abetting a crime the second anyone uses a gun they make from a law enforcer to an assasin for hire. When a legislator makes a law that makes an activity illegal, they are placing anyone who acts in that way at the mercy of law enforcers and thus harm and thus a crime.
Stacey Abrams as a legislator by default, can not be a proponent of peace. Does this mean Stacey Abrams is a bad person or sinner? no.
I personally thought biden made a huge mistake not selecting her to be his vice president. But, while she is far better than any head of state, especially president obama, she as an elected official is in no way adequate as a champion of peace.
