I would love to.
For those of you that can't be bothered to read more than a headline:
Dem Senator Says Party Needs to Stop Attacking ‘Oligarchy’ and Focus on Losing ‘Woke’ Reputation

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.”
During an interview with Politico national politics correspondent Adam Wren, Slotkin spoke about her “war plan” to “contain and defeat” President Donald Trump.
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.
Slotkin told the news outlet, “Trump is doing a whole bunch of things that I think are a threat to our economy and a threat to our Democracy and I have a responsibility on behalf of my state to point that out and try to do something about that.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) – the most likely Democratic presidential nominee in 2028, according to analyst Nate Silver – recently commenced a “Fight Oligarchy” tour with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) across the United States.
Last month, after Slotkin was asked by a constituent how she would “step up for us now” like Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders, Slotkin threw shade at her progressive colleagues.
“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.”
“I can’t do what she does because we live in a purple state, and I’m a pragmatist,” she concluded.
I'm an independent but mostly lefty guy and this lady has never sat well with me. She's a corporate dem through and through.
They didn't compare it. You are putting words in peoples mouths now.
If my neighbor did ANYTHING to my pets, they'd be lucky to only get sprayed with water.
My plan is working nicely, next laptop will be a Lenovo
He looks like a drunk
The wording in the constitution really doesn't allow much wiggle room at all.
I really do like this idea. But I don't think modern dems look at coorperate democrats like Obama the same way they used to.
I just broke a dudes nose the other day that drove like a maniac and blew through a stop sign on my block, nearing hitting me, got out of his car and threated me, swung, missed, and got a broken nose courtesy of my fist. People that ignore "soft power" will find the wall that stops them eventually.
The question is always about how much are you willing to sacrifice for your nation.
No they don't. Liberals are well armed too.
People that have no understanding of history, nations, and laws say things like this.
Well, since everything you just said is complete bullshit, it would be his third term.
Oh there will be a fight. That's for sure.
It's more than likely just another grift to leech money from his drove of idiot supporters.. but who knows with this asshole
We'll see. But I'll be marching at your side if it comes down to it.
Well, I don't drink that bullshit so I couldn't care less.
That's what I'm saying. Pete Hegseth is a woefully unqualified moron.
