    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.

    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.

    Of course. They don’t want to fix things, they just want to be the ones getting the benefits.

    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”

    Sure stop pandering to the wealthy and make plans to support and lift the general populace in all areas and you will stop being “woke”.
    And guess what, the best way to pay for it is to get the fair share of taxes back from those that are avoiding paying completely by paying lawmakers privately.

    Wow, so easy, much fun.

  • 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.
