Also, they prefer to take the easy way out (as identified by convention, consultants, or focus groups) on issues their willfully ignorant constituencies don't understand. Literally nothing new and good can come from Democratic Leadership because they're not leaders.

This goes for the Dem leadership @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @LeaderHoyer as well.

Leadership starts at the ballot box. The entire PARTY let the Obama family down in 2010, 2014 and 2016 when the right and Trump in particular attacked them mercilessly.

There are many different voices in congress. Everyone will not agree with you, but should respect you. The converse is also true. Who is silencing you?

Sitting at the table means you will be criticized. It means people will parse your words and motives and hold you accountable. If Omar or any other politician can’t handle criticism, public service is the wrong career field. You will never silence voters either.

Funny how your focus is on your fellow Dems instead of Trump who is the one inciting violence against Rep. Omar.

Pay attention to how quotes are sliced and diced by our short-attention-span culture, the press, and by oppositional forces. This was not invented by Democrats. Rep Ilhan can be more effective when she learns how that works.
