Current Events > Squad member Rashida Tlaib declines to endorse Kamala Harris at Michigan rally

(+) Yeah! (+)

The electoral college was created to prevent a candidate like trump. Now let's see if they will go ahead and reverse their mandate from creation.

oh thats a relief.

here I was thinking that she refused to call it a genocide and said the biggest tragedy was Oct 7th.

See this is something that I can't stand . Why are they trying to act like she isn't doing it. Just say yes she is doing this all of actions show this. Her and Biden not giving a damn when American Reports are shot in the head and the Aid workers are bombed and places or worship are blown to bits. Shows this . But she isn't Trump and is better for Americans. I would support them more if they did that.

Boy I hope no one is surprised, shocked, or disappointed.

Anyone who asks Rep. Tlaib to endorse Kamala Harris is doing so as a purity check.

Saying Harris supports genocide is literally Russian disinformation. Bob Woodward leaked her conversation with netanyahu and she does not like him at all. Israel's propaganda news Network is broadcasting that she's a terrorist sympathizer over there. The actual Gazans want her to win.

There are candidates who support Gaza for one reason, and one reason only: To play spoiler and get Trump elected. They don't care about Gaza. Not even a little bit. They make promises they know they'll never have to keep. Which makes it all the more disgusting that Butch Ware came out for a 16-week abortion ban, and against trans people. So much for pushing the left 'left'. Jill Stein has no plan for getting Netanyahu to stop bombing Gaza. She has no plan for anything. Because she doesn't have any interest in winning.

She does realize that the US is on the verge of becoming a fascist nation, right? Wait until that threat is gone, then next election, go all out on endorsing a more progressive candidate.

It's always the next election for you people.

Because our two party system is built that way. At some point the people themselves need to start taking responsibility, and stop expecting others to make changes for them.

So what happens next election when the dems move even further right and the republicans nominate another fascist? Just wait until the election after that to endorse someone else?

It's so weird when these people claim Dems keep moving to the right. Just total fantasy world

wait are you endorsing not voting for Harris now? Im confused.

Can Bob Woodward also leak BB's conversation with Trump? I'd like to know what promises he made to him for continuing to refuse a ceasefire.

weird thing to say in a topic about a candidate that has been more critical of Trump than anyone in the Harris campaign but do you I suppose.

That's hilarious.

Jill Stein hasn't been critical of Trump at all. And I notice you ignore the anti-trans stuff coming out of Butch Ware's mouth. Or the anti-abortion stuff. Her campaign all but stated that their goal is to make Harris lose. Gee, who wins if she loses? I wonder.

Freedom of speech. Also it's actually more that the country is on the verge of civil war. Blue states won't take any fascist behavior lying down.

Freedom of speech.

Not endorsing her is indirectly endorsing Trump

Hi, youre weird. Dont be weird.

Hi, I'm LGBT. I'm quite happy to fall outside the norm, thank you very much.

Dems as a party have moved left over the years, but the reason for the opposite perception is:

- many Dem candidates have backed off of less popular proposals from their pasts such as defund the police, bail reform, border relaxation, medicare for all, cis/trans sports integration, etc.

- Harris messaging shifting from liberal targeted to centrist targeted.

- various entities the Dems support like Israel lurching far-right.

There is no right-ward shift in terms of substance but there's an opitical illusion at play.

I literally saw posts on the_Donald.win (where the chuds went to be open bigots and racists when r/the_Donald FINALLY fucking got shut down for platforming bigots and racists) calling for the hanging of the Squad. I believe the exact quote was "four bitches twisting in the wind".

But hey, muddy the waters when that's the alternative. Sounds like a good plan.

The supporters of the party that isn't explicitly descending into fascism are saying that people shouldn't voice political opinions just very slightly contrary to their party line for fear of being lynched. What a time to be alive.

That's what you got from that?

How about "the other party's lunatic fringe wants to lynch her, and that party caters almost exclusively to the lunatic fringe now"?

The fact that the mainstream response among people who oppose the fascist dictatorship is to try to silence people who express even the tiniest shred of dissent in the most harmless of ways is the beginning of a new story, and I don't like the direction it's going.

In 2016 people decided Hillary wasn't good enough, and that got us the shitshow we're currently in.

You should be terrified of going in that direction again.

Hillary one the popular vote. People held their nose and voted for her. And she lost of the EC , the EC which the Centrist dems love for some reason.

That's a given and reflected in my post.

The GOP is openly embracing a fascist dictatorship and they're going to lose because of it. That's the end of that story.

Both of these statements are incorrect.

Even if they were correct,

being terrified doesn't justify undermining democracy by trying to shout down anyone who dares to dissent in even the smallest way.

This behavior is not saving democracy. It is putting us on a path where it will be in even more danger.

Please consider the possibility that your response is inappropriate.

Wrong.
