Theres a lot more to fighting the oligarchy than voting.

while your point is benign enough-- so no shade on you, I do think context matters, focused language matters, and watering down language-- like Slotkin is trying to do-- is a cheap rhetorical trick to control the narrative. Her proposition is at best pointless and at worst manipulative to sabotage progressive messaging with nonsense. Its a classic zionist move too.
I disagree. How exactly is that obvious?
You’re just sore that we all think she’s DNC trash.
a phrase she said doesn’t resonate beyond coastal institutions
The crowds at the AOC rallies prove her wrong. It does resonate with people, just not for the pro-business, zionist, reach across the aisle industry-whore constituents Slotkin represents.
"Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump "
The anti oligarchy tour drew huge crowds and energized an angry base thats rapidly abandoning the democratic party. What has Slotkin done, besides uselessly infight with progressives, push lobbyist interests, and normalize a bunch of language the republicans use? Here she is denigrating “coastal institutions” as out of touch, and in her state of the union rebuttal she said Ronald reagan would be rolling over in his grave. Why is she talking about Ronald Reagan? i’d hope Reagan’s coffin is 1000% full of democrats piss, so I’d be happy if he rotated in that piss all day every day. She sure talks like a republican.
Slotkin is a shining example of everything thats wrong about the DNC and the current democratic party.
Nice. Pics really do a lot of heavy lifting. We need a lot more of these.
Its about who she is.
You keep trying to frame this narrowly and we all need to keep an eye on who people are with their actions, what their record is, and who is paying them.
Slotkin is a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, and a member of the New Democrats Coalition. She’s also far right as zionist supporter as they come, and she’s already chair on a committee on terrorism and intelligence-- as a jr senator elected 2 months ago.
The new democrat coalition is what the blue dog dems became, and inherited the members of that group. They are extremely pro business and anti immigration, and deficit focused (aka, republicans)
Remember the blue dogs? Their brand became so toxic they had to rebrand as new democrats. But its the same well funded group that is always for tax cuts for the rich, but shuts down anything for the people based on a vague deficit/fiscal austerity argument. They consistently block any advancements on health care, citing cost even though the CBO says it would save money and propel the economy-- but limit the complete market control of health insurance companies. (new democrats work for them, never us)

I’d urge you to actually read up on the new demcrts coalition and the problem solvers caucus and tell me how either one are good for the democratic party. Those are the only two caucuses Slotkin identifies with.
Look how desperate you are to derail anything about Slotkins odious caucus memberships with an ad hom attack.
New Democrats coalition, buddy. Explain why Slotkin is a member of that caucus (AKA the blue dogs) and how the work of that caucus is good for voters. After that we can talk about her other caucus memberships and votes.
I know who she is. I believe you are incorrect in your take on her
Great, explain her caucus memberships and being a top AIPAC recipient then. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Do you need me to google the mission of those caucuses for you? Even the stated mission would do it, we dont even need to look at the awful things they actually support or the various ways they have shafted members of the democratic party for decades.
She claimed the word oligarchy doesnt resonate and it absolutely does. You are just buying into Slotkins pro business, pro aipac, manipulative narrative.
You’re being duped, ricecake. Snap out of it.
And one of most ardent zionists. She’s take 656k from AIPAC. she’s one of their top recipients.

And last cycle 51 million from the “Mitten PAC”. which doesnt disclose where funds are donated from.
What she’s saying is to use the word “kings” instead of “oligarchy”. Which I get. Sure - do that. Makes sense. Same argument, same vitriol, more punch.
It does not make sense and is not the same argument. She’s part of a New Democrat Coalition campaign to absolve corporate interests from any responsibility for their lobbying of congressman for whatever filthy outcome they want. She doesnt care about doing the right things, she wants boycotts stopped, and to keep the public busy attacking figureheads.
Its great that you’re into solid research. I admire that. Maybe you could take a moment to read Slotkins wikipedia then.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elissa_Slotkin
And google her caucus memberships. They tell you who she is, and its not great. And she’s another “Endorsed by Liz Cheney” Dem which is the coveted endorsement for liberals.
Let me help get you started from that wikipedia page:

Kings are single actors. Oligarchy is a group which includes corporations. She is part of a pro business caucus and she is one of the worst zionists in the party. Can you stop trying to whitewash her? She is a monster who needs to be removed, not understood.
The republicans and 12 dem defectors, including Slotkin, Warner, and Mark Kelly, voted to deport any non citizen even accused of a “crime”, without trial or evidence.

Law enforcement can just point at you for whatever vague unproveable nonsense they want to, and you’re gone. Thats the type of stuff Slotkin supports. I imagine she supports it because she is an uber zionists and wants to wield deportation against anyone who doesnt support her favorite war crimes.
Thats her version of “being strong”. She means acting like a thug and violating everyones civil rights rights. And she’s the darling up and comer of the DNC.
“Ronald Reagan would be rolling over in his grave” is what she said in her state of the union rebuttal. The dems like to bring up ronald reagan as an exemplar now. Frickin Gross.
Dems have a 23% approval rating for voters under 30. As those voters age the dems better turn that around of they are just doomed. They seem to be changing nothing at all and counting on trump to shoot himself in the foot, but they keep mistaking disapproval of trump with approval of the DNC. Thats not how any of that works. They are well on their way to more losing. Idiots.
If I were Powell I’d tease him about it. Demand Trump lower tarriffs that are wrecking the economy. Tell him to go ask Trtumps boss Putin if thats ok.
Trump and Rupert should fight on tv to solve this I’d pay per view that, as long as they can guarantee its to the death. Trump could finally show us all what a big man he is.
Good thing it was the secret service instead of the cops, or that student might be dead right now.
This from the guy who insta-pivots to ad hom attacks on anyone who tries to dig into Slotkins caucus membership and voting record, and then runs away.
So we’re all stupid huh? Your boos mean nothing to us, rowrowyourbot, we’ve all seen what makes you cheer.
Trolls are so tiresome.
I for one, greatly appreciate all the comments on this thread that arent pro Slotkin trolls. You give me some hope that the voters of the dem party (or what the dem party should be anyway) have some hope of getting this country back on some sort of track, and flushing the filthy slotkins and republican fascists down the tubes bak into the shameful silent background where they always belonged.
