All I actually know about Tlaib is she is anti-Zionsim. I'll take that to mean she's probably as "good as it gets" by US standards on other policies.
So, she's de facto the best politician in the US at the federal level. Ilhan Omar is number 2.
Says a lot that the list basically is two people long and Omar has an off/on record with anti-Zionism. She had basically the entirety of US congress riding her ass over saying Israel (not Jews. She never said or implied Jews broadly speaking) "hypnotized the world" and some comments about Israeli lobbies funding a shit load of US campaigns being why the US unconditionally backs Israel, which is objectively definitely part of why random white dudes in congress think Israel is so amazing. And the hypnotized thing she's, again, correct. People want to read into anti-Semitic tropes around Jews being puppetmasters, but she said it about Israel the state, she's never expressed any sort of racism or anti-Semitic sentiment other than comments pieces of shit (actual literal Nazis) take out of context and lie about to strip her of power to further fund Israel. Very obvious what they did when she was removed immediately from the group that, in part, decides US funding to foreign states in Feb this years after Rs got the house back. Hey, odd how 8 months after that, the president is out calling for Israel to openly and freely do a genocide. Almost like.... the thing Omar was saying... is... correct? Hmm.
Anyway, I'm setting these two as the bare minimum bar for all democrats to hit if they want a shred of a vote or support from me. Since I don't have a coffer full of billions of dollars, they probably won't care.
Ilhan Omar is not that bad, tbh, but you've already said that. There's also Corey Bush. But these politicians are few. I'm sure you can find more, but they're so far the minority, though there are some others I like in my area.
