34. "The Who Matters"

Interesting account. Let's look at the pinned tweet.

Link to tweet

So they are explicitly stating they will not vote for the nominee if it's someone they don't like.

I mean it's right in the account name "The Who Matters". And this is a person to post here? Why?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Thank you Rashida Tlaib for showing us how we will defeat Donald Trump. [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

. George II Feb 2020 #1

LOL! The Hoarse Whisperer nailed it! Thanks, George! highplainsdem Feb 2020 #2

Random people on twitter still attacking Tlaib are not helping us unite to defeat Trump. DanTex Feb 2020 #3

Booing the Party's incumbent standard bearer (Hillary Clinton) and then issuing a half-hearted.... George II Feb 2020 #5

It was a heartfelt apology, very decent. Continue to attack her doesn't help anyone. DanTex Feb 2020 #8

It wasn't an apology at all... comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #26

Please show me where the apology is in her statement mcar Feb 2020 #32

You just don't get it do you? dware Feb 2020 #57

+1000 ehrnst Feb 2020 #65

"High road?" Tlaib attacks the party standardbearer is what is not helpful to party unity. ehrnst Feb 2020 #64

Thank you, George II! eom BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #45

Can you point me to any words from her that constitute an apology? scheming daemons Feb 2020 #4

It was a series of tweets. DanTex Feb 2020 #6

Yeah, I saw the series of tweets scheming daemons Feb 2020 #39

Agreed. That was not an apology Fresh_Start Feb 2020 #55

DanTex WA-03 Democrat Feb 2020 #7

He's an Independent now and says he will run as an Independent in 2022. He's not a Democrat. dem4decades Feb 2020 #17

Actions like this are what turn people off from the Democrats lynintenn Feb 2020 #9

Yes, Hillary's attacks on Bernie may turn some people off. DanTex Feb 2020 #12

since when are divisive people unifying? dem4decades Feb 2020 #19

May be unifying to "the movement," but not to the party, not to Americans across the political emmaverybo Feb 2020 #28

She was wrong and it was a nice apology. Rashida Tlaib is a very classy woman. Autumn Feb 2020 #10

Please show us where in her statement is an apology? nt dware Feb 2020 #58

If it has to be explained to you I guess you won't consider it an apology. That's fine with me. nt Autumn Feb 2020 #60

So, in other words. dware Feb 2020 #62

It's not my job to show where her apology is. You accept it or not. I will have a great Sunday. Autumn Feb 2020 #66

As I said, yoiu can't show an apology dware Feb 2020 #67

It's like saying... ehrnst Feb 2020 #63

+1000. dware Feb 2020 #68

I strongly disagree Gothmog Feb 2020 #11

Another rando on twitter attacking a Democrat. Those people aren't helpful to defeating Trump. DanTex Feb 2020 #14

Right, Bernie should set an example to his surrogates and quit attacking Democrats. R B Garr Feb 2020 #56

It's even better when you don't do things that make your lame apology necessary The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #13

True, but people make mistakes. It's big to own up to them publicly. DanTex Feb 2020 #15

I don't think she attacked Bernie calguy Feb 2020 #18

"Nobody likes him" is an attack, anyone can tell that. DanTex Feb 2020 #30

I think it's a fact calguy Feb 2020 #46

Here is a definition of Tlaib's non-apology apology: madaboutharry Feb 2020 #16

I think its best if we put this behind us instead of trying to re-parse her apology to find DanTex Feb 2020 #21

You're the one that keeps starting threads about this. dware Feb 2020 #59

Good luck getting support from real Democrats Gothmog Feb 2020 #20

Tlaib is a real Democrat. DanTex Feb 2020 #22

In all fairness, that was a very weak apology. redqueen Feb 2020 #23

Arguable. Certainly it's a stronger apology than the one Hillary gave for her grade-school insult. DanTex Feb 2020 #25

You've just highlighted the real problem Democrats face. Beartracks Feb 2020 #51

I couldn't disagree more melman Feb 2020 #24

I wouldn't say she gave into bullying. She apologized without saying that DanTex Feb 2020 #29

I understand why she did it but I think it's a bad move melman Feb 2020 #33

Fair enough. I agree that she was bullied. And is still bullied. DanTex Feb 2020 #35

I don't know melman Feb 2020 #37

63 million people voted for Hillary in 2016. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #27

Seems Team Bernie liked what she said mcar Feb 2020 #31

"The Who Matters" melman Feb 2020 #34

I've seen re-posts here from people who happily voted for Stein mcar Feb 2020 #38

His actual statement or The Who Matters' absurd mischaracterization? melman Feb 2020 #41

She posted his actual statement. As did I mcar Feb 2020 #43

I have no problem with it melman Feb 2020 #44

Keep doing what you're doing? mcar Feb 2020 #52

There's that absurd mischaracterization I was talking about melman Feb 2020 #54

I am very disappointed in this sanders supporter Gothmog Feb 2020 #36

This thread is laughable. Hopefully she loses her primary. tritsofme Feb 2020 #40

Just no. That's not how politics works. yardwork Feb 2020 #42

I didn't really see an apology. MineralMan Feb 2020 #47

Kicked and recommended. Uncle Joe Feb 2020 #49

An apology from Tlaib would be a great thing Codeine Feb 2020 #53

It was a non-apology. ehrnst Feb 2020 #61

The attack on Clinton were totally inappropriate and disgusting Gothmog Feb 2020 #69

This makes me smile Gothmog Feb 2020 #70

I dig how you justify in Tlaib that same you indict in other. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #71

Tlaib is just smart enough to know that she can't Blue_Tires Feb 2020 #72
