    Elissa Slotkin can fuck off.

    Detailing her plan, Slotkin – a former analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency…

    Oh, she can really fuck off.

    Edit:

    “I can’t do what she does because we live in a purple state, and I’m a pragmatist,” she concluded.

    This is code for not rocking the boat.

    She’s sorta right. ‘Oligarchy’ is a big college word that Joe Bumblefuck doesn’t understand.

    Aristocrats is a good word, but again: “duh?”

    Therefore Dems just need to start harping about “rich fucking parasites”

    The Democratic Party is so full of collaborationists. Just shows how democracy and capitalism are incompatible. The bourgeois class just buy the politicians.

    The unfalsifiable orthodoxy. Moving to the far-right and appealing to moderate Republicans win elections. If a Democrat wins, it proves that this works, if a Democrat loses, they just hadn’t moved far-right enough.

    First part of article title is a bit misleading I think. She thinks “Kings” is a better term than oligarchy because it’s more relatable. She has a plan to fight kings. She does seem to think wokeness is weak though.

    Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) has urged her Democratic colleagues to stop attacking the “oligarchy” on Thursday, arguing that the word did not resonate with most Americans and should be replaced with “kings.”

    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 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.

    The only reason the party has the woke reputation is that empty lip service is really all they had left. People like this need to get a fucking clue. If people want to vote for republicans, they will never ever ever get confused and accidentally vote for democrats just because you mirrored their policies from 12-20 years ago.
