  1. Don’t be stupid and vote democrat

  2. they could've left Barbara Lee out she has been in congress since 1998 doing nothing

  3. Barring something truly unforseen, LBR (Delaware) is a shoo-in for the prestigious office.

  4. Tallib
    So you are NOW threatening the President and the Democratic Party ❓⁉️
    You should be ashamed of yourself for telling PPL not to vote for BIDEN…in my opinion I am not sure if PPL should trust you in Michigan with your seat to say something like like that statement was Horrible to dont vote for the President and you are in a Democratic Party that are having all this hard time with Trump and the Maga ppl and to say what you said was terrible IDK
    if PPL should trust you hmmm 🧐🤔

  5. Three places where the people running are failing the people.

  6. Didn't Dr. King say, what matters is the 'Content of their Character'? Don't care if they are effing purple, but we DO care if they are honest/smart,/effective.

  7. Are we congratulating them because they're black or because they're competent?

  8. Thats true its a lot of discrimination in the united states…

  9. Not us to have another Far left woke Democrat in the United States Senate. If Barbara Lee wins, it will be a disaster.

  10. These women have my vote. I trust them a lot and especially Lisa Blunt Rochester. She’s a strong person after what she dealt with during January 6th. During the time of when the white supremacy terrorists were about to break into the chamber where they were hiding, she prayed and prayed and kept her hopes high during that. That is strength. Many people were crying and having panic attacks, texting their loved ones. Mad respect for her. Anyone who can remain that optimistic and strong during a time like that is going to make a good leader.

  11. Great more DEI hires go figure. If you’re good for the job you’ll get voted in quit leaning on gender and race.

  12. Romans 3:23
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Romans 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death;

    Psalms 9:17
    The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

    Acts 8:37
    And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

    Romans 10:9
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    Corinthians 15:3-4
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    Ephesians 2:8-9
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

  13. Delaware, lol!?!?! I'm sure she'll vote for everything genocide Joe sends down the pipe! Ask any Palestinian how important identity politics is to them?

  14. Just don't call out the DNC for ignoring the Black community, supporting endless wars at the expense of black communities or criticize Israel's genocide in Gaza.
    Do any of that and they'll quickly show you how important being a black woman is.
    Just ask Nina Turner…….

  15. As a black man I am sick of all this historic BS. We still doing this after 400 years in this country. Something is very wrong with this country!

  16. Racism.o

  19. Harley's staying in the race 👏

  22. Women beware we are going to lose more rights.Trump committed rape sexual assault. Women must protect women and our daughters.

  23. The most important minority in congress is the handful of good honest people.

  24. 𓆩✞𓆪❤‍🔥 Brothers and sisters, I’m making known to you the Good News which I already told you, which you received, and on which your faith is based. In addition, you are SAVED by this Good News if you hold on to the doctrine I taught you, unless you believed it without thinking it over. I passed on to you the most important points of doctrine that I had received: -` ⏰🚨´- CHRIST DIED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS 🩸AS THE SCRIPTURES PREDICTED. HE WAS PLACED IN A TOMB. HE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE ON THE THIRD DAY AS THE SCRIPTURES PREDICTED. (1 CO 15:1-4 GW)

  25. Let’s go Barbara Lee, let’s help her become the next US Senator of California
