Lmao fuck that and fuck you, Slotkin.
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.
The problem with people with no moral or intellectual compass is that they just look around them for what's 'working' and attempt to copy that.

I know how she can test her theory.
Run a primary opponent against her who feels differently. Let the market decide.
Well, I'm just going to go extra woke, now. Go woke or go broke.
Sounds like a moron who needs to be primaried.
Seems to be an unpopular opinion, but she is right. I think the people upset with her in the comments do not live in red areas.
As stupid as it sounds, that is all people seem to care about. The right used to have abortion as a drum to bang. Now that Roe is overturned the right needed a new social cause, and they found 'woke' which is WAY more effective than abortion since it seems to excite both religious, and non-religious.
If you go and talk with people in rural areas you will be shocked by how prominent this issue is in their minds, and I believe it will always beat economic issues for them.

Just another clueless asshole.
Controlled opposition
I have no regrets leaving
Who gives a shit about some stupid label the MAGAt morons have come up with??? Fascism needs to go! That should be the resounding message here!
"Dem senator is a compromised lackey"
Yeah, no shit. That's the problem.
Can you tell us you have been purchased by the oligarchy without telling us?
End "woke"? So let Republicans shred all DEI? That's not just trans/gay, it's anti racial discrimination, it is help and protection for the disabled ... hell, it is the very laws that make ramps and elevators required for the disabled.
Yes, I might be talked into agreeing that democrats have to tone down "the message" so Republicans cannot use it as a hate rallying cry ... but the goals are still there. The evil fascist stuff this admin has done must be reversed, and these people all need to be in jail for insider trading by ping-ponging the economy.

“Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump and the cuts and the attacks on our judiciary and the attacks on our Constitution?” asked Slotkin, who claimed her responsibilities fighting Trump’s government cuts forced her “to be more than just an AOC.”
Fair.
“I can’t do what she does because we live in a purple state, and I’m a pragmatist,” she concluded.

Hooray another sack of shit politician attempting to derail from real issues
I feel like the headline conveys a different message than even what the article does:
“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,'”
argued that the Democratic Party needed to lose its “weak and woke” reputation and “fucking retake the flag,” adopting a “goddamn Alpha energy”
She's literally saying the word oligarchy sounds pretentious and an opposition to kings resonates better, and that people think the party is weak and they need to present themselves more aggressively.
Click bait is click bait.
“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,'”
Doesn't resonate beyond the coastal institutions such as.... Iowa? and Montana? Where Bernie and AOC did giant rallies?
This milquetoast Republican-lite act doesn't really resonate anywhere including coastal institutions. Look at the results of the last election cycle. The difference is that on the coasts there are enough people with money that'll vote to keep the status quo going. Life is good enough here that the people here can still -- and just barely -- imagine a future.
In the middle of the country where everyone's broke and things are thoroughly hopeless, they see little difference between keeping the status quo going and burning it all to the ground.
That's exactly where and why Trump's "take the country back" rhetoric works. The country is screwed up and pretty obviously not going to be made dramatically better by silly little neoliberal plans such as a tax break for opening a new small business or whatever.
