You're kidding! That is unbelievably disgusting ;(. LauraInLA Sep 14 #97

I saw that. Disgusting. betsuni Sep 14 #98

You think the maga's will latch on to this? FirstLight Sep 13 #18

Do they think they are getting back at somebody by not voting? Or punishing. Nobody knows, nobody cares. Walleye Sep 13 #68

I was a Bernie supporter, but FirstLight Sep 13 #92

Yes. Of course they will. It won't be the first (or the last) time that MAGA echoes these anti-Dem * Oopsie Daisy Sep 14 #105

Oh FFS. skylucy Sep 13 #33

Ironically her actions might actually help us win. JohnSJ Sep 13 #36

She should show up in one of her fave nations PCIntern Sep 13 #37

The only member of Congress NOT to vote to condemn October 7th DFW Sep 13 #38

As long as we don't reap what they sow. moonscape Sep 13 #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 13 #57

That is why I believe her actions not to endorse might actually help us. Someone who could not even condemn JohnSJ Sep 13 #40

Why is it Palpatine Sep 13 #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 13 #62

they did. edisdead Sep 13 #66

Why is it that you would say there were no questions about Gaza when there were? onenote Sep 13 #67

Nothing but the best for the oppressed, huh, lady? DinahMoeHum Sep 13 #42

I can't say I am shocked, but I am disgusted. nt BootinUp Sep 13 #47

Why didn't we primary her? Polybius Sep 13 #51

They did in 2022, and Rep Tlaib won significantly. They probably thought it was futile to primary her in 2024, JohnSJ Sep 13 #69

They should have done it with Hillary supporting the challenger Polybius Sep 13 #71

Different district, different demographics. JohnSJ Sep 13 #73

Not surprised JustAnotherGen Sep 13 #52

True. sheshe2 Sep 13 #61

It's a stand. Historically people take a stand. Klarkashton Sep 13 #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 13 #70

Very true. They played that rationalization in 2016. JohnSJ Sep 13 #72

I said it's a stand jack, I didn't say it was my stand Klarkashton Sep 13 #86

My name isn't Jack, "Klark". And you were defending her taking a stand. onenote Sep 14 #103

A self-serving one. nt BootinUp Sep 13 #88

It is. A stupid stand. Happy Hoosier Sep 14 #111

so shes says there are other people on the ballot to vote for... Historic NY Sep 13 #55

No there isn't anyone else on the ballot that can protect your families edisdead Sep 13 #56

Not very bright is right. JohnSJ Sep 13 #75

She needs to join the Green Party or something... LeftInTX Sep 13 #58

She's a fool. nt Mark.b2 Sep 13 #74

Good grief lady. MontanaMama Sep 13 #76

We seem to be amplifying her divisiveness quite a lot.... Think. Again. Sep 13 #77

Perhaps she should not be so divisive. sheshe2 Sep 13 #79

We ARE in a fight for our Democracy... Think. Again. Sep 13 #82

You do you. sheshe2 Sep 13 #83

I will, thank you. Think. Again. Sep 13 #91

"Divisive" has had a new definition for the last 10 yrs: Objecting to baseless Democrat-bashing and threats not to vote betsuni Sep 14 #96

So we can lose MI without a fight? yardwork Sep 14 #107

But amplifying Tlaib's no-endorsement message like this isn't fighting back... Think. Again. Sep 14 #110

That's what I don't understand. yardwork Sep 14 #114

We're very close to agreeing! Think. Again. Sep 14 #115

Exactly. I wouldn't know or care about this story ecstatic Sep 14 #117

Well said. Think. Again. Sep 14 #118

That's just fucking stupid. ismnotwasm Sep 13 #78

"If I don't get what I want, I'm willing to fuck everyone else." liberalmuse Sep 13 #84

If she doesn't support our party's nominee, then she.... LudwigPastorius Sep 13 #87

Smirking and laughing. Wanted to endorse Harris but was "rejected by the party establishment." betsuni Sep 13 #93

So, she's not interested in doing anything for Gaza, she just wants to make her own political statement. lees1975 Sep 14 #94

Kamala should give her nothing after she is sworn in. Cattledog Sep 14 #95

She's going to hold her breath till things change? Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Sep 14 #99

Some of the 'Squad' in the House have been learning the art Tadpole Raisin Sep 14 #101

I mean, most Americans don't like Tlaib so a pointed non-endorsement is beneficial. AkFemDem Sep 14 #102

Unfortunately, her constituents in Detroit like her. yardwork Sep 14 #108

Let's drum her out of the Democratic party for not worshipping at the feet of our nominee! Lunabell Sep 14 #106

Okay! AkFemDem Sep 14 #109

I'll play along BannonsLiver Sep 14 #112

Are you ok with her helping Trump? Elessar Zappa Sep 14 #116

Yeah...your "sarcasm" isn't helping. Tlaib Doesn't have to "Worship" Cha Sep 15 #119

Umm, the primary is over. She had no Dem opponent. The district (MI-12) is safely Dem. JustABozoOnThisBus Sep 15 #120

Right...let's cheer someone who has effectively endorsed Trump? tritsofme Sep 15 #121

"worshipping at the feet of our nominee" "bow down to leadership" ah, insults that Democrats anoint, crown, betsuni Sep 15 #123

Yep. Don't care. Iggo Sep 14 #113

How disgusting. She might as well order herself a red MAGA hat. This is what supporting Trump looks like. tritsofme Sep 15 #122
