Every single time I hear something about her I like her less and less and regret voting for her more and more.

jamhouse5.bsky.social•18 days ago

She’s my senator… I’m more than disappointed in her.

bearku.bsky.social•18 days ago

Becoming them isn’t the answer.

jdutky.bsky.social•18 days ago

It’s like she hasn’t thought beyond the immediate slogan. What are you if your are not “weak and woke?” Are “strong and sleeping?”

salt-miner.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah. A negative slogan, dont do this, dont say that, is inherently weak. She is totally giving up with this stuff

parkroseperma.bsky.social•18 days ago

It's almost as bad as "Love Trumps Hate" that HRC used. 😫😫😫

salt-miner.bsky.social•18 days ago

I was totally unaware of that one. Yuck.

woe123.bsky.social•18 days ago

It seems to me that voting for a republican or a democrat is the definition of stupidity. Be like the patriots you are and start a new people’s party and run this country the way the majority want it. The republicans are cruel and cowards, the democrats are weak. Reverse the financial inequality!

parkroseperma.bsky.social•18 days ago

Imagine still using "woke" like this in 2025. It's giving "How do you do, fellow Fox News watchers!"

coupdemots.bsky.social•18 days ago

How do you feel about this? There seems to be more and more evidence all around. Don’t be mistaken, I’m throwing up my hands in defeat or giving up.

*** I’m NOT throwing up my hands in defeat NOR giving up.

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines "woke" as being alert to injustice, especially racial injustice and social discrimination. It also describes "woke" as being aware of or well-informed about political or cultural issues,

beleiveinnothing.bsky.social•18 days ago

often with a sense of sensitivity to social inequality and a desire for social change.
Woke is the opposite of uninformed hate.

kristinamwrites.bsky.social•18 days ago

Elissa Slotkin really did sell us out. Feels like bait and switch with her.

hustleup53.bsky.social•18 days ago

She pulled a Sinema..

robert-is-typing.bsky.social•18 days ago

She is shouting, "Hello, Fellow Citizens! I am officially unqualified to run for President on the Democratic ticket in 2028! I'm pleased to self-select for the "Nope!" column on your ballot!"

cardstockcaster.bsky.social•18 days ago

They want to lose so bad

highlawn.bsky.social•18 days ago

Off topic but, I am encouraged by the shock troops that showed up in Milwaukee yesterday. Flash mobbing needs to happen more often so that every time a red hat opens its mouth there is a crowd to shout it down.

tds-deanna.bsky.social•18 days ago

She obviously doesn't read ABO fic or she'd know the true meaning of what an Alpha is 🙃

ancientn00b.bsky.social•18 days ago

Slotkin is to the right of your typical establishment Dem, mainly because of her obsession over border security. She was one of the few Dems that was elected where Trump won.

cmcdade.bsky.social•18 days ago

Given how much has changed since November 2024, that election may as well have happened a decade ago for all the lessons it can teach us about winning the next one.

parasite137.bsky.social•18 days ago

Maybe believing in the duopoly is part of the problem.

shackletonsmom.bsky.social•18 days ago

They really are cringe. Every single time they use the term alpha.
They have literally ruined the term, regarding men, anyway.

kristena7899.bsky.social•18 days ago

Slotkin isn’t an actual Democrat. She’s a republican who hates Trump and MAGA and couldn’t run as a republican at the time so ran as a democrat. As soon as Trump and MAGA are gone or dead she’ll switch parties.

catmomdo.bsky.social•17 days ago

That evokes an image of Schumer a few weeks back at some presser, saying something like "We will win!" Right before caving on the spending bill 🙄 ....
Same kind of cringe. 😖

tetsudragons.bsky.social•18 days ago

Elissa really isn’t helping her case. This makes her and all the other Dems backing this idea weak.

I've been on committees with Khanna & moved up to Fremont before he did (before I moved back to SF). I'd consider him more of a moderate than progressive, as he's definitely very pro-capitalism. He votes more progressive than he is because his constituents push him to so ymmv. My 2 cents.

iftahayounak.bsky.social•17 days ago

He also has been very pro-Musk.

bkwrmgal.bsky.social•17 days ago

Someone *really* needs to do a documentary on the history of NUMMI ... @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social or Moore perhaps

bethanydesign.bsky.social•18 days ago

🙌🏼 followed

elanthecat.bsky.social•18 days ago

There are several congress members pushing for progressive policies and pushing back against the trump administration; AOC, Bernie Sanders, Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, to name a few

lmhinh.bsky.social•18 days ago

Omg. She sounds like JD Vance, Zuck, Elon and every other incel.

bluntmeme.bsky.social•18 days ago

How far is Slotkin in her Senate term? Can Senators be removed early (besides incarceration if they’re convicted criminals)? There are several I’d like to see gone- Schumer & Jeffries especially. Their ideas are antiquated & they have rallying abilities of slugs.

elanthecat.bsky.social•18 days ago

Some states have recall elections clauses in their constitution

bluntmeme.bsky.social•18 days ago

Gotcha!

salt-miner.bsky.social•18 days ago

Brand new. And she won by a very slim margin. So I guess she is traumatized into compliance. She has a pretty high number of votes for Trumps nominees, for example

zuzuspetalsmi.bsky.social•18 days ago

I hate this. She is using their twisted language.

The corruption of language is one of the early tools of fascism.

zuzuspetalsmi.bsky.social•18 days ago

Also, let's stop with the politics as sports bullshit.

Not for nothing, the Detroit Lions have never won a Super Bowl because they've never played in a Super Bowl.

synrasa.bsky.social•18 days ago

Being woke is simply understanding what's right and wrong.

And that is not a weakness.

silvermark.bsky.social•15 days ago

Slotkin thinks she can camouflage herself as a conservative. Fuck her.

notrebecca.bsky.social•18 days ago

I have written to my Rep. and both of my Senators twice in the past two weeks asking who approved the funds paid to El Salvador and from where is the money coming.

I've heard NOTHING back. In the meantime, citizens/legal residents/judges are being arrested.

bluntmeme.bsky.social•18 days ago

Try calling daily. It doesn’t take much time. I’ve been greeted by staffers. Even if they don’t return your call, they pay attention to # of calls & issues. My Rep has been especially gracious. Both Senators send stock emails. Call about SAVE Bill. Restricts voting! Look it up!

diehl23.bsky.social•18 days ago

Slotkin needs to sit her fucking ass down somewhere. This is what the hell is wrong with the Democrats. Like, if she doesn’t go kick a fucking can down the street while adults are talking.

drbonne.bsky.social•18 days ago

You are always spot on. Thank you for your perspective and insight.

amyjames69.bsky.social•18 days ago

omg! I am so with you! what the fuck are dems doing???? do we have a leader? are we forever stuck with the horrible schumer and flippin hakeen who can not for the life of him say a full sentenne! It's all 3 words, pause, 3 words pause...wtf?

davelh143.bsky.social•18 days ago

Lest we forget, Slotkin's response to Trump's SOTU address was to praise Ronald Reagan.

killian-fisk.bsky.social•18 days ago

Jesus, she sucks.

Imagine thinking she’s the future of the D party. She and Chuck can take a seat.
