Well they did call him a token negro for it. The left's acted the same to truly learned black men who don't agree in lock step with democratic ideals. See Thomas Sowell, Clearance Thomas, Herman Cain, Ben Carson.
Thats not quite what Im getting at. They really dont have the cohesion to win on policy alone. Not only do Blacks and Gays not really support each other (Blacks in CA voted against gay marriage by 86% on Prop 8), they cant even agree on a common definition of "civil rights." One defines it in political terms, the other in economic. Greens and Unions will never, ever agree on industrial/trade policy. Democratic Socialists and the 18-30 demographic have systemic issues with taxes and the impact on single women, particularly mothers. Republicans have a smaller coalition of groups that dont quite step on each other's toes the same way, at least the interests dont conflict with one another so abruptly. Also Kanye is a fucking lunatic, why is this being debated?
Eh, I dont like Elizabeth Warren, but the Pocahontas thing is getting old. Its not just Trump that does it either. On a few of the major highways around here one of her challengers for Senate, Shiva Ayyadurai, bought of a bunch of billboards with Warren in Native American headdress and makeup. Hes an absolute lunatic and claims he invented email and all sorts of other wild bullshit. Hes so bad that if I have to pick between her and him as my Senator, Ill choose her any day and thats really saying something.
You know the state of things sucks when you’re forced to vote for the candidate you hate the least, rather than the one you admire most.
As little as that is, the test result is still enough to allow her to legally live on a reserve and claim official status.
If she had the right tribe as heritage, should could have gotten some of that Mohegan Sun Casino money. I think they give a pension to anyone who can prove they have 1/32nd tribal heritage.
It is my understanding that tribes go by genealogy, not genetics. So even if a test indicates you have significant native genetics, if you can't trace your roots back to say how that occurred, they won't accept it. Which makes sense, given that they're looking for a cultural link and a preservation of their heritage, not just a maintenance of their genetic line.
Why did they think she should just sit on the horse and sing in place the whole time, instead of at least sauntering through the fields?
As for Warren herself, I'm not the biggest fan of a number of her policies, but she seems like one of the few Democrats willing to actually take the fight to Republicans. I feel like her climate policy wouldn't just be her groveling in front of the Republicans and saying "well what if we only burned 90% of the coal?"
It’s just that her stupid DNA stunt to try and prove Trump wrong is the perfect illustration for why democrats are always so stupid at politics. Because of course after she announced her 23 and me results, it was publicly denounced by an Indian tribe for being disingenuous and not really conclusive making her look stupid. Why couldn’t she wait until after the midterms to do her stupid shit? Between her, Avenatti, and Sanders making plays for 2020, I wouldn’t be surprised if they annoy enough dem voter to stay home next month.
It basically confirmed what she's always claimed, that her mother said she had a Native great-great-grandmother and Warren accepted it as true because it was what her mother told her.
I honestly don't know what the right play is for her. Obama refused to breathe life into the birther conspiracies by addressing them, and they just got stronger. Then he proved them wrong by releasing his birth certificate... and they elected the chief birther President. These people believe what they want to believe no matter what reality tells them. I mean, maybe she should have just donned a headdress, scalped her 2018 opponent, and done a war whoop. Fuck it.
The democrats keep their voters home by not doing what they’re supposed to do: listen to who the fuck elected them. Put the Candidate your VOTERS want in the White House, not the one your fellow candidates want. Get rid of your dumbass “super delegates” I mean honestly that is the most retarded shit ever. Move to get rid of your stupid electoral college. The Democrats lost their last election because they fixed their primaries against the will of their voters, and the voters told them to go fuck themselves for it. Many were so pissed off about it, they voted for Trump. You’re the party that pimps the “popular vote” so much, well, Hillary didn’t even get the popular vote inside your own faggy-ass party. But you weren’t having that and here we are.
