“And if we truly want to unify our country, we have to really respect every single voice. We say that so willingly when we talk about Trump supporters, but we don't say that willingly for my Black & brown neighbors and from LGBTQ neighbors or marginalized people.” - @RashidaTlaib https://twitter.com/A_S_Alexander/status/1326653663058808832
“If [voters] can walk past blighted homes and school closures and pollution to vote for Biden-Harris, when they feel like they don't have anything else, they deserve to be heard,” @RashidaTlaib said, choking up... “I can’t believe that people are asking them to be quiet.”
Agreed.
"Progressive groups laid out their own dire diagnosis in their memo and called on moderates to adopt a clear economic message, which they said was lacking this year. Democrats will lose the House in 2022, they wrote, if "we abandon our core progressive base and agenda.”"

This: " @AOC wasn’t happy with the party’s messaging on climate change: “You don't have to even bring Green New Deal into this,” she said. “Why aren't we talking about creating 20 million jobs, putting a solar panel on every roof. We need to talk in images and sights and sounds.”"
All that said, @POLITICO? Do better around the editorializing about justice-oriented women of color representatives like @RashidaTlaib & @AOC when their passionate, strategy-oriented political insights are branded as emotional "lashing out." That's a narrative choice. Do better.
P.S. Many people in my mentions are not recognizing the difference between Biden's messaging & overall Democratic party strategy. Have you not been seeing what certain Dems have concluded as a post-mortem?
Also: talking in stats is not the same as what AOC is describing doing.
