You think the maga's will latch on to this? FirstLight Sep 2024 #18

Do they think they are getting back at somebody by not voting? Or punishing. Nobody knows, nobody cares. Walleye Sep 2024 #68

I was a Bernie supporter, but FirstLight Sep 2024 #92

The only member of Congress NOT to vote to condemn October 7th DFW Sep 2024 #38

As long as we don't reap what they sow. moonscape Sep 2024 #39

It is up to them, not us if they want to only focus on one issue, a very complicated one that has been going on for JohnSJ Sep 2024 #57

That is why I believe her actions not to endorse might actually help us. Someone who could not even condemn JohnSJ Sep 2024 #40

Why is it Palpatine Sep 2024 #41

Yes They did, and VP Harris made her positive very clear. Israel has a right to defend itself, there needs to be JohnSJ Sep 2024 #62

I can't say I am shocked, but I am disgusted. nt BootinUp Sep 2024 #47

Why didn't we primary her? Polybius Sep 2024 #51

They did in 2022, and Rep Tlaib won significantly. They probably thought it was futile to primary her in 2024, JohnSJ Sep 2024 #69

They should have done it with Hillary supporting the challenger Polybius Sep 2024 #71

Different district, different demographics. JohnSJ Sep 2024 #73

Not surprised JustAnotherGen Sep 2024 #52

True. sheshe2 Sep 2024 #61

It's a stand. Historically people take a stand. Klarkashton Sep 2024 #53

Well, if it leads others not to support Harris and we lose the state, will you defend her taking this particular stand? onenote Sep 2024 #70

Very true. They played that rationalization in 2016. JohnSJ Sep 2024 #72

I said it's a stand jack, I didn't say it was my stand Klarkashton Sep 2024 #86

My name isn't Jack, "Klark". And you were defending her taking a stand. onenote Sep 2024 #103

A self-serving one. nt BootinUp Sep 2024 #88

It is. A stupid stand. Happy Hoosier Sep 2024 #111

We ARE in a fight for our Democracy... Think. Again. Sep 2024 #82

You do you. sheshe2 Sep 2024 #83

I will, thank you. Think. Again. Sep 2024 #91

"Divisive" has had a new definition for the last 10 yrs: Objecting to baseless Democrat-bashing and threats not to vote betsuni Sep 2024 #96

So we can lose MI without a fight? yardwork Sep 2024 #107

But amplifying Tlaib's no-endorsement message like this isn't fighting back... Think. Again. Sep 2024 #110

That's what I don't understand. yardwork Sep 2024 #114

We're very close to agreeing! Think. Again. Sep 2024 #115

Exactly. I wouldn't know or care about this story ecstatic Sep 2024 #117

Smirking and laughing. Wanted to endorse Harris but was "rejected by the party establishment." betsuni Sep 2024 #93

So, she's not interested in doing anything for Gaza, she just wants to make her own political statement. lees1975 Sep 2024 #94

I mean, most Americans don't like Tlaib so a pointed non-endorsement is beneficial. AkFemDem Sep 2024 #102

Unfortunately, her constituents in Detroit like her. yardwork Sep 2024 #108

Let's drum her out of the Democratic party for not worshipping at the feet of our nominee! Lunabell Sep 2024 #106

Okay! AkFemDem Sep 2024 #109

Umm, the primary is over. She had no Dem opponent. The district (MI-12) is safely Dem. JustABozoOnThisBus Sep 2024 #120

Right...let's cheer someone who has effectively endorsed Trump? tritsofme Sep 2024 #121

"worshipping at the feet of our nominee" "bow down to leadership" ah, insults that Democrats anoint, crown, betsuni Sep 2024 #123

Yep. Don't care. Iggo Sep 2024 #113

How disgusting. She might as well order herself a red MAGA hat. This is what supporting Trump looks like. tritsofme Sep 2024 #122
