if her constituents will not vote for her for standing up for herself against bigoted and targeted attacks then they shouldn’t. also if getting reelected takes precedence over having principles I would hope you wouldn’t anyway.

it’s one thing to be practical and picking your fights. but if the fight is literally brought to you, personally… fucking fight back.

the fact that rashida tlaib catches no end of shit is my point, because that does not mean she should give up on her principles. and more importantly, she’d still be targeted if she did. that’s what republicans do. funnily enough though she gets censured by her own party for being anti-genocide. because that’s what democrats do.
