Squad member to deliver response to Biden SOTU [View all] brooklynite Feb 2022 OP

Will this help or hurt us in the upcoming midterms? JohnSJ Feb 2022 #1

Clearly it won't help bottomofthehill Feb 2022 #21

Clearly if they start attacking the President, fellow Democratic members of Congress, it would be JohnSJ Feb 2022 #29

The article said nothing about attacking the President or his message groundloop Feb 2022 #33

It was labeled as a "response" to the president - not a concurrence FBaggins Feb 2022 #39
