to minimize the electric potential and keep the peace.
If she is negative and others are positive, I think they would want to maximize the potential, which is negative, by moving away from her to minimize the release of kinetic energy.
I thought the analogy could be extended to concord with it… But maybe the underlying point against the analogy is the symmetry between positive and negative charge. Anyway I still think it adds something useful to your world model/​worldview to have the analogy in mind.

This is a point against the analogy, I agree.
