Elissa Slotkin IS the oligarchy. She is the Hot Dog Princess. Her grandpa owned BallPark Franks—subsidiary of the Tyson Foods megacorp. Every time someone eats a hot dog, Elissa gets more passive income than most folks earn from a year’s labor.
Among the shittiest hot dogs on the market. It’s Nathan’s or Hebrew National, everything else is garbage.
Nathan’s make me extremely sick because they are sweetened with sorbitol.
There are places in the USA where you can find smaller, more local hot dog makers.
The best I’ve had are Hippey’s Franks from Denver, Pennsylvania.
Ream’s in Elburn IL. Superb
Hebrew national > Aren’t sausages mostly pork?
Hot Dogs can be pork, chicken or beef, or even a combination. Hebrew National is all beef. I prefer all beef wieners myself.
We don’t need more “pro-israel centrists”
The reason Dem turnout in generals is depressed, is our choices are CIA war criminals like Slotking or a republican.
She is the problem, not the 99.9% who don’t want an oligarchy
I completely agree, but it’s also likely a reasonable representation of her Michigan constituents. It’s not a terribly diverse state.
Here’s who her donors are, if that’s of interest to anybody

What does “Retired” mean for top donor?
That’s broken down by profession of individual donor.
It shows that her biggest group of individual donors is boomers, who aren’t exactly known for being progressive.
These are donations from retired individuals
The oligarchy pays me to pretend to fight for you! Wait. Cut that part.
Maybe the democrats need to ditch pro-oligarchy anti-woke members 🤷♂️
Way to advertise what side she’s really on.
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”
People are clued in on oligarchy even if they don’t quite know the exact definition. After Bernie and AOC started their tour, it was Wikipedia top 5 articles. Slotkin is just a right wing traitor.
Yep. She’s talking about changing optics and messaging to something that resonates with the larger ‘I know very little about politics but I still vote’ group of voters.
The headline feels like clickbait.
Her name is: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI)
Just so you don’t accidentally vote for her.
Ulg shes the one voting with repubs
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.
And this is why fascism is winning.
Yep. When the ‘resistance’ grand plans are to adopt the fascist framing (e.g. that ‘woke is weak’ and should be surrendered) what’s the point in having an opposition party?

They’re winning because of exactly what she said. There’s an issue of perception that people on the left will never fully grasp.
You all have no idea to engage online or publicly in a way that comes off as appealing.
You. Cannot. Build. A. System. Of. Social. Justice. In. A. System. Of. Political/Economic. Injustice.
There’s a reason why we got so much shit done in the 60-70s, socially, and why nobody really feels like we’ve progressed much since then.
And this is why we need more decent folk around the country like AOC to run for any and all offices.

So abandon economic justice and civil rights.
Is there anything left?
The democrats were never left.
