Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) urged her Democratic colleagues to stop attacking the "oligarchy," arguing that the word did not resonate with most Americans.
Who do you think are the voices who are really strong against billionaires? And who are the voices who are the strongest in support of this “identity politics” bogeyman? Because it’s pretty much the same people. This idea that the Democrats running interference for the rich are using wokeness to do it is just bullshit. The same people saying stop wokeness are the ones who also don’t want to talk about wealth inequality.
There’s no secret plot to distract with identity politics, just rich centrists chasing the golden age of Clintonism and white people thinking the only policies that should really matter are the ones that affect them.
Sanders and Cortez are literally doing a tour right now AGAINST the Oligarchy bullshit.
Crockett, Porter, Durbin, Duckworth, Warnock, Kaine, Gillinrand (shocker) have all pushed bills to raise the ceiling on taxable income for Social Security, and higher tiered taxes exponentially for wealthy earners.
And would you consider either of them to represent the anti-woke strain of the Democratic party?
Anti-oligarchy and “identity politics” are not two camps in the Democratic party. The same people who are against focus on the oligarchy are the ones who are against focusing on “identity politics”.

class war vs culture war. she doesnt want that.
There is no “anti-woke”, because the only dipshits who believe there is “woke” in the first place are Fox News enthusiasts.
Stop buying into all this drama, my God.
and people pretending to be on the “left” but often use woke.
You’re the one who just made an argument to listen to the centrists and stop doing “identity politics”. You’re the drama!
Never said anything like that, but it’s obvious where your mind with it 🤣
