I think it’s naive to make bombastic statements like Tliab has made and not expect people to be motivated to unseat you. This sword cuts both ways, Trump is extreme and so is Tliab and I would applaud a billionaire who would pony up to defeat Trump
Lobbying should be illegal, plain and simple. It’s just bribery with a different name.
Some dude went to prison some time ago for trying to sell a Congressional seat.
Now it’s publicly announced.
Is that illegal though?
It shows that the Supreme Court has decided that electoral seats should be up for sale. You can argue as to whether or not that’s right, but essentially that’s what the Supreme Court has decided our constitution says
To be fair tlaib hasn’t done jack shit for her district
>The offer came on October 16, the day Tlaib joined Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) in introducing a resolution to back an immediate de-escalation and cease-fire in Gaza. The blockaded enclave was then nine days into a relentless bombardment by Israel, which was launched October 7 in retaliation for Hamas’ attack on southern Israel but had already killed nearly 3,000 Palestinian civilians, including 1,000 children, at the time.
>The death toll has now grown to more than 14,500 people, including **6,000 children**.
I believe Israel has a right to exist, a right to defend itself, and that Hamas are terrorists. I also believe 6,000 dead children is a tragedy and that another method of rooting out Hamas needs to be pursued.
Of course 6,000 dead children stirs passions and of course their will be some politicians who respond to that with criticism of Israel. That isn’t to say they are right. Rather it is to say it is inevitable given the scale of tragedy that disagreement exists.
Tlaib holds positions I don’t. That said someone at the table does need to hold some modicum of the positions Tlaib does. I see it as useful to the larger discuss.
She isn’t wrong.
This is not a pic of AOC! Where is AOC?
Very flattering photo
I mean yeah, facts. Congress has become a bidding ground for public officials.
So does forcing Biden on us again; **Run AOC**, she’s the best shot the Democrats have of getting it right *right now*, and the crazy energy of the whiplash of the ticket shift would galvanize support.
But, y’all gonna keep posting media articles swearing we’ll fall in-line and vote Joe next November out of fear, and we’re straight up done being terrified for our votes.
Why are the establishment Democrats hellbent on losing Michigan ? Tlaib is extremely popular in her district, and she has helped Biden take Michigan, but hey, go unseat her and then watch Michigan go red.
What a stinking pile of horse shit of an article. The antisemitism on reddit is out of fucking control.
While i dont respect Tlaib for trying to hurt Biden’s campaign, i dont like how corrupted our system is
This is why all we need to keep election donations to a minimum. No more legal bribes by big money contributors. If the average voter can’t buy a senator than some rich donor can’t.
i have had it with these motherfucking rich people on this motherfucking planet!
Why’d they put a picture of AOC in a Halloween mask?
Where do I donate to unseat Tlaib? That despicable antisemite needs to go..
