@rameshgupta@Pineywoozle@PamelaBarroway@Stybba3019 we're not talking about Rashida Tlaib, we're talking about her sister! And "America First" is a literal fascist slogan (going back LONG before Trump adopted it).
@sofiav A farL group had already met w/ Kamala & her staff before the rally & been promised an in-depth meeting. This was a stunt. Dems who might have been supportive saw it for the standard #farL let’s damage Dems BS they’ve been pulling since Ru propagandized them. Trying to damage the only hope Gaza has by disrupting the rally of the person best positioned to CONTINUE to try & stop the bloodshed in the Middle East is not negotiating, its extortion. @PamelaBarroway@Stybba3019
@PamelaBarroway@Stybba3019 Rashida Tlaib is Palestinian. Presumably her sister is, too. If she protested or "heckled" or whatever after meeting with Harris she probably had a pretty fucking good reason. This isn't about which little clique of politicians is the cool crowd in DC, this is about a genocide
@Stybba3019 I read that the protesters on 8/7 met with Harris or her staff first, and then STILL heckled ... and that one of protesters was Tlaib's sister. Make of that what you will.
@PamelaBarroway @friendica.opensocial.space I have been mulling over a similar argument the last few days.
What the unrelenting hecklers are doing is political extortion: nice little campaign you have here. Would be a shame if we had to cost you the election by peeling off voters in swing states. You need to GIVE ME CENTER STAGE NOW IN YOUR CAMPAIGN SO I CAN PROTEST HOW AWFUL YOU ARE! Or you'll be sorry.
🧵 Thread by journalist Magdi Jacobs following the #KamalaHarris shut-down of protesters at her 8/7 rally, via ThreadReaderApp. I suspect a lot of normie Dems are of this mindset. Worth your time for a read.
