Rashida Tlaib declines to endorse Harris

These are the poll options in Indiana. No write-ins. Write-ins have to fill out a form to declare it. There was no space to write in a candidate.

I would like to know who Rashida Tlaib thinks Hoosiers should vote for:

(I'm enjoying asking this of people who think it shouldn't be Harris and not getting an answer.)

She flat out told people to vote straight ticket Democrat in this very speech.
This article is just an attempt at ratfucking because she didn't explicitly say she was specifically endorsing Harris.
OP will engage in a ten hour discussion in the bad comments replying within seconds every time and not do one multiple choice question
- I wouldn't be surprised if OP has blocked this user. A lot of people have or just avoid engaging this person. Unpleasant interactions with this user is a known thing.
I don't think not endorsing is the same as saying vote for someone else. I won't endorse McDonald's but if I'm starving with no other option I would have to eat it.
- There certainly are plenty of people here on Lemmy saying not to vote for her.
  And so far not telling me who I should have voted for given my options.

I can't wait for Democrats to accuse one of their own of being a Russian asset.

Why would they?

Because their strategy for responding to any criticism of Harris, Biden, or the Democrats is to accuse the critic of being a Russian asset.
I imagine right now they're debating about whether they can credibly accuse of Rashida Tlaib of being a Russian asset without it backfiring on them.
- I haven't seen that response unless someone has credible connections to Russia, like Trump or Stein.
  Also, her complaints are 100% valid.
  Ironically you're the one dismissing criticism of people supporting Russian interests in a completely unrelated post.

Well, that's quite shocking. Who could have expected her to not endorse someone who supports the ethnic cleansing of her ethnicity?

People need to remember that Rashiba Tlaib is Palestinian-American.
This is not some just some overseas event, but rather a severe personal grievance. It's difficult to imagine a more pressing issue.
- They know. They just don't care. They would rather have the attitude of "What are your choices? Vote for us even as we kill your people" rather than try to understand where she's coming from.

there's a typical sneaky bullshitter strategy that sneaky bullshitters always use (i am using "bullshit" according to the wikipedia definition so it is civility, there's no other way to communicate the idea). the strat is this: sneak an assumption in and treat it as a fact. then, start an argument about an unrelated thing. nobody argues about the assumption. kapow! the sneaky bullshitter has just sneakily pushed a bullshit idea and gotten away with it. can you find the assumption, internet posters?

It's called "presupposing a frame", and Innuendo Studios did a really good piece about it here.
- I'm familiar with what that is. I just don't think I'm doing that.
Are you saying you don't think Rashida Tlaib is one of the Democratic party's own? Or that disinformation from the Russian government is real? Because I strongly disagree with the first one but strongly agree with the latter.
Side note: rhetorical questions are frequently very unhelpful for forthright communication.
- Since this is down in the bad comments zone and my attempt at getting people to play "find the assumption" has failed I'm gonna just answer this (also I looked at your post history and you seem to be a real human). "I can’t wait for Democrats to accuse one of their own of being a Russian asset." "Democrats to accuse one of their own of being a Russian asset." "Democrats" "If you can solve the multiple choice question of which of the four candidates to vote for, you are a centrist/liberal (in the leftist sense)/duopoly/two-sides-of-the-same-coin-boi. No leftist/proper radical/cool tough guy who is very cool and tough like me would ever accuse Tlaib of being a Russian asset, so if you do, I am drawing myself as the Chad Leftist and you as the Soyjack Centrist" It's the kind of openly silly opinion that, if you say it openly, people laugh at you, so OP simply assumes it and attempt to change the subject before anyone notices, thus normalizing it. A person not pushing an agenda who writes like a normal person would probably say "I can't wait for you dumbdumbs/Lemmy to accuse Tlaib of being a Russian asset" or more likely just not bring it up at all. People are gonna accuse me of being silly but there's simply no reason to bring it up and phrase it that way unless that's what you're attempting.
Are you calling me sneaky?
- look no offense but I'm speaking to the people you're attempting to influence (mods removed a slightly different phrasing of this for civility reasons, let's see if removing a key phrase is good enough)
