Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) urged her Democratic colleagues to stop attacking the "oligarchy," arguing that the word did not resonate with most Americans.
An Oligarch & a King are not the same fucking thing.
Sorry if people use big, scary words that mean things.
EDIT: What’s actually pretentious is talking down to people b/c you believe they are too stoopid to understand what an Oligarch is or learn if they don’t. She’s talking down to the Democratic Party for not talking down to their constituents. Pretty fucking pretentious if you ask me.
LMAO I’m well aware far-left lemmy will downvote me for saying this, but the fact that you’re copping an attitude with that person is funny because lefties are absolutely TERRIBLE at messaging. Democrats and lefties suck so badly at communicating with voters that a guy who rambled incoherently about immigrants eating pets was able to beat them.
Sadly, no, most Americans don’t know what the hell an ‘oligarch’ is because that’s what happens when you have decades of Republicans de-funding education. Pointing this out isn’t ‘pretentious’, because it’s sadly true.
