Awesome. That should help a lot of people. A lot of the wrong people, but a lot of people.

Or did they? One never knows . . .

Everyone who works for trump gets shit on. No exceptions.

for now

I’m not seeing that from this article, but you seem to know a lot about her - what are some other things she’s done?

Performative acts like that shirt are the proof-of-faith that the republiQans require. It’s very tied up with Evangelical Christianity in an awful way.

Well you can argue the words or the pronunciation thereof but I don’t think you’re on the right side of that one. Language is central to reality and you’re talking about a wide swath of people’s reality where oligarch has little meaning but king has a lot.

As for CIA-bad, no argument there but CIA-bad-therefore-anyone-who-worked-there-bad I’d also disagree with. We gotta have someone to run and if she’s progressive and firey, I’ll take it. If the left wants to primary her for someone else, fine - so long as they can win. But in most cases they don’t have anyone.

I think you’d see a lot of people unhappy with it. The “teaching people the term” isn’t as straighforward as learning the A B Cs. You’d be putting a big roadblock in front of you for little practical gain.

That’s what the lawyers are supposed to argue. That prevents Jill Stein from saying she’s a Democrat and then suing because they didn’t give her the presidential nomination.

Yes and no

“ALL RISE!”

<blink> fascism in progress </blink>

Good thing it was never about savings then isn’t it.

That’s fucked up. It sounds exactly like he smoked one bong hit too many and went on his own Qanon trip.

Great! . . . What party is he going to?

I’m guessing there isn’t one. Which is fine - it’s just that that can’t be a template for the nation if we just have sixteen months to go. Or, if it is, we need to see some work really fast.

I’m arguing for no huffpo links. this is another reason why.

Gosh he seemed so competent and professional though.

Just what Jesus would have done.

She’s a hypocritical corrupt piece of shit.

If anybody wanted to read the article (ha! yeah, I know) she’s not saying we should lose ‘woke’ ideology or stop attacking ‘oligarchy’. She says the opposite of those things, which was phrased by mediaite this way for clickbait reasons.

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.

As for the ‘woke’ part, she said:

Detailing her plan, Slotkin – a former analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) – argued that the Democratic Party needed to lose its “weak and woke” reputation and “fucking retake the flag,” adopting a “goddamn Alpha energy” inspired by Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell.

She’s mad as fuck and doesn’t want to explain why people need to be treated with respect - it should be a given and we don’t need to explain it.

So there’s sixty comments on here so far, most of them railing against her but I don’t see it. I think she’s been misinterpreted, deliberately, in the case of the mediaite headline writer.

It’s weird to wear a hat that says “punch me I’m a fascist” but okay
