At this point it'll be hard for any challenger including Tlaib to even qualify for most state ballots. Npt impossible but very hard and would have to start right now.

Oh. Hey. You actually have a clue as to how things work.

As for why the UAW hasn't endorsed Biden? Sports fan here. I root for an NFL team that had a quarterback that was the toast of the town at the time and going into free agency. Most of the fanbase was panicking over this and wanting both sides to reach a deal NOW and not in the next five minutes.

What happened, of course, was that both the team and the quarterback had big-time negotiators who knew better than to a) take the first offer, and b) not get a deal done. The deal got done.

If your aim is to prop up a candidate as historically weak as Biden is, you endorse as early as possible so your organizing apparatus can get into gear and have as much impact as possible, you don't keep people in suspense. UAW (and IAFF) keeping their powder dry suggests they could sit this one out, or they suspect it might not actually be Biden in November.

Also how about you check your tone and practice disagreeing without talking like a condescending dickhead
