Sure, but I would say it’s a good thing to focus on for a minority political party.

Yea but opposing 'kings' isn't even close to the problem of 'oligarchs'

I don’t disagree, but for the sake of elections, they’re effectively equivalent. I agree the billionaires are most of the problem, but their names aren’t on the ballot. It’s the guy who is trying to play king.

The article title is incredibly misleading. Even the first sentence of the article makes clear what she was actually saying:

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.”

She’s advocating for using a more relatable term, not for a change in party values. The “woke” comment irks me, but again is focused on terminology and not ideology.

When you need the dumb fucks’ votes, you gotta speak their language. Or at least water it down to be palatable to someone who was “educated” in our broken-ass system.

Besides the Tesla, none of these are easily achievable by a non-executive working at Apple at age 33.

Maybe it’s an eMMC chip on an embedded device?

I want them to have to explain their idiotic opinion so they can fail to defend it

What do you mean?

I would never claim that China is performing less surveillance of its citizens. They definitely are a world leader in this, in a very bad way.

However, mindless commenters spamming social credit demerits on any post that mentions China only serve to feed the exaggerations and inaccuracies.

Fine, what national security obligations are US-based social media companies meeting that TikTok/ByteDance is not?
