Rashida Tlaib publicly refused to endorse VP Harris against trump for the Presidency?

but by all means, keep posting divisions among Democrats. I am sure that will help us in the upcoming midterns,

I guess when Nina Turner compared President Biden to a "bowl of s**t", and her refusal to vote for Hillary in 2016, was that bothersome?

and unlike Nina Turner who refused to vote for Hillary in 2016 in the general election, Jefferies never said he would NOT vote for Mamdani in the general election.

Is the OP suggesting it is OK "not to vote Democratic" in the general election?
