we don't need her to switch parties. just vote against this monstrous bill Takket Jun 23 #70

Fake news tweet headline. She did NOT say she would become a Democrat, and she criticised the Dems as well. Watch the Celerity Jun 23 #72

And yet 90% of the posters believe it to be true, with 150 or so recs. Abolishinist Jun 23 #74
