As Madeline wrote last night, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) does not support Joe Biden. She is a staunch supporter of Bernie Sanders. Are we shocked? (By NY Post Office):
In a Monday interview with Newsweek, Tlaib, a Democratic representative from Michigan and a Sanders acolyte, said she was focused on delivering the battleground state to Biden but would not endorse him because it would allegedly stir up arguments with voters in her district, where stands. hard basic challenge.
“Locals come up to me and say, ‘Rashida, I don’t know. I hear Joe Biden this, Joe Biden that.” I say, “Listen, do we need four more years of Trump?” NO. Then you need to go out there and focus on this,” the Muslim congresswoman said.
“If the ultimate goal is to get rid of Donald Trump, that doesn’t necessarily mean actually supporting Biden,” she continued.
Former Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner, another Sanders ally, compared voting for Biden to eating a bowl of shit. These people are revolutionaries and voting for the establishment is the opposite of that. This is what they want to destroy. Why would they tolerate this? Besides, these people are patient. The next four years of Trump are no different in their eyes than four years of Biden; in both cases, they are far from the point where they would like to move the country to the left. Leftists may hope that Trump will win again, and then hope that the party’s fatigue after eight years of a Republican in the White House, and a weakened Democratic Party establishment that once again supported a losing candidate, might trigger the leftist revolution they had hoped for all along. Additionally, there is the Medicare for All fiasco brewing ahead of the Democratic National Convention (via WSJ):
Democrats have rejected efforts to change the party platform to show support for Medicare for All and marijuana legalization, moving the document closer to adoption by delegates at their convention next month.
The document, approved on Monday by the party’s program committee, closely coincides with the campaign proposals of presumptive candidate Joe Biden. The next step will be a vote on the platform by nearly 4,000 Democratic delegates, which will take place by mail before the convention where Biden is expected to be formally announced as the party’s nominee.
The party platform is largely symbolic because Democratic candidates do not have to endorse its content. Nevertheless, it is the official determinant of the party’s priorities and political goals.
Oh yes, for sure this causes heartburn with the more leftist delegates there. And yes, Tlaib and the rest of the Department is a staunch supporter of this socialist medical nightmare.
Tlaib’s “I don’t support Biden, but I’m against Trump” stance is indicative of how the base feels about Joe. The left is gradually and quickly taking over the party. Bernie may just not be the right man to lead this movement, I don’t know. Yes, Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee, but it will be a youthful, energetic leftist who rises to the top and could bomb the system, given the basic dynamics here. As we deal with Covid-19, New York has seen plenty of progressive insurrectionists overthrow current state lawmakers, and the Empire State looks set to have the most liberal state legislature in the country. Where the professional left hides, Marxism dominates and this trajectory shows no sign of slowing down. Joe Biden was never the Democrats’ first choice – please. Let’s be sincere, the 2020 Democratic field was a joke, full of anonymous, inexperienced and total randoms. The only thing that kept Bernie Sanders from being renominated was his inability to win over a key demographic of black voters who had apparently decided that the man who supported the infamous 1994 crime bill that locked millions of black men in prison would be their salvation .
Tlaib’s half-hearted response about Biden also shows what has been reported before: no enthusiasm for this Joe Biden. Forget about those polls that show an advantage, if no one has the energy to vote for this guy, he doesn’t win. All it takes is one debate where Biden pees his pants and forgets where he is while Trump runs him over with an SUV for the entire energetic to change. Never count Trump out, especially when he’s depressed. In Tlaib’s home state of Michigan, it was reported that just two in five Sanders supporters would vote for Democrats, regardless of who was the nominee. Four in five said they would not be ecstatic if Biden were the nominee. It’s feeble sauce. There is a Never Biden movement. It’s in key states. And if you think these people can’t change the situation, just ask Hillary Clinton.
