    My favorite part was focusing on Trump taking away democracy. Putting Kamala forward, a candidate no one wanted, voted for, or liked. Protecting DuMOcRAsy!

    Literally, the opposite of what they should be doing. And saying Americans are too stupid to understand a word like “oligarchy” isn’t a good look, either.

      “ She said Democrats should stop using the term ‘oligarchy,’ a phrase she said doesn’t resonate beyond coastal institutions, and just say that the party opposes ‘kings,'” wrote Wren, who reported that Slotkin was planning to deliver a series of speeches in the coming months about her plan.”

      Did you miss this part?

        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:

        Caucus memberships

        New Democrat Coalition

        Problem Solvers Caucus[

          I know who she is. I believe you are incorrect in your take on her and Im not sure you understand how our system works at all which is a frequent problem for leftists.

            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.

        Ah , see, that take is rationalizing. She’s a former CIA torturer who worked under Bush. Within Michigan she once moved into a lobbyists house to avoid getting primaried after redistricting. (The lobbyist’s house was in a safe democrat area that the Democrat party did not field a local candidate for.) Her ascension to state senator was equally questionable - all the other candidates dropped out after meeting with party officials.

        It’s clear she’s the Democrats new Joe Manchin, put there to avoid progress and force concessions if they ever win a plurality. All the Michiganders I know vehemently hate her.

          First she was in the DA not DO at the CIA so she factually was not a torturer as analysts weren’t doing torture rather the spies were. Secondly every single person in the executive branch works for whomever is POTUS so it is not a surprising claim to say she worked under POTUS at the CIA.

          Edit: The directorate of analysis is where she worked. If the CIA directly hired torturers that worked for the CIA they would be in the directorate of operations. That being said the CIA contracts out torture through foreign intelligence, criminal groups, military/paramilitaries, or police when they have been found to do so. This is not an endorsement of torture but rather an explanation of how the CIA is divided and which side hires torturers, assassins and criminals.

            Your defense of her is that she chose to work for torturers? Why would anyone work for torturers?

              Im not defending her Im correcting your error. A simple look at her background would make it clear your claim was wrong.

                1- I’m not who made the claim

                2- How is this distinction a material difference? If she worked for torturers then she is unsupportable

                  Im sorry for my error and my hypocrisy.

                  Right now anyone who is anti-fascist needs to be on the same team. Anyone saying we should reject anyone who is anti-fascist because they do not cling to a specific ideology are a larger part of any problem we are facing than she is.

    “Not resonating with voters”

    Bernie and AOC’s “Fighting Oligarchy” campaign is pulling in more people to their rallies than attended Obama’s in 08.

    Don’t peddle that horseshit you Liberal traitor.

      She’s so full of shit. The number 1 issue in every 2024 poll of swing voters was the economy and inflation. That’s why Trump won. When people think the economy sucks, the incumbent party almost always loses.

      All this bullshit about “woke” is just another attempt by the ultra wealthy to distract from economic issues, because they know the solutions for them hurt their bottom line. She and her GOP allies will do anything to stop us from improving labor rights and economic conditions for ordinary people.

      She’s a lying weakling backstabber.

    This is the DINO that went on after HitlerPig’s SOTU and tried to sell the absurd concept that millions of people voted straight Democratic tickets, except for HitlerPig at the top.

    Sure, there were probably some dummies rhat did that, but they’re as rare as white squirrels. She’s just the water carrier for the same old weak, spineless weenie Dems who are perfectly happy being smug about their “peaceful transfer of power” to Nazis who obviously rigged the election.

    I can’t do what [AOC] does because we live in a purple state, and I’m a pragmatist

    “It’s pragmatic for me to avoid making my Republican donors upset.” What an idiot.
