I think we're talking past each other. I'm not saying the harms are to Warren or her family, yeah they're just your usual white family who want to feel cool.

I'm more talking about the cases where someone who has grown up with a tribe, who has parents who are tribal members can be legally denied tribal rights because they had too many mixed blood grandparents. Warren's self-serving argument that "she can't be native her blood is too impure" reinforces that in the public mind.

I guess the point is that whichever way you slice it, claiming or denying Native heritage through blood quantum is racist - and all the liberals who are trying to defend Warren either don't know enough about the issue to understand why it's bad or cynically don't care.

I'm really curious on a demographic/age breakdown on people here who are arguing Warren hosed up vs. this was a smart move.

I have a feeling the people who think this was wise were around for the Kerry swiftboating while those who don't were not.

I was around

Kerry could have gone out and ran on his actual Vietnam record where he was violently saving his brothers in arms, then came home and protested an illegal war which featured countless crimes against humanity. and instead Kerry smashed the decorum button like a loving tool.

I'm very down for deplugging the white woman's thirst for minority validation when she's not lived a day or done fuckall for any of us, but it shouldn't be conflated with the rancid poo poo dripping out of the right.

The crazy thing about all of this is how easy it would have been for Warren to get a win here! Take the DNA test, then throw it out, and instead of wasting time on her ancestry release a video on, like, voting rights or poverty or sexual assault in NA populations.

that former head wasn't in on those conversations, probably intentionally, that former head actively thought this was a good play, or that she was simply ignored for opposing it.

This actually does seem to be playing well among Warren's base as far as I can tell because they don't care how incredibly tone deaf it was and just care that she had what they consider to be a DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT moment. As much fun as this is to mock I doubt it'll actually impact anything other than reminding native americans that the Democrats don't care about them any more than the Republicans do.

Yeah, no. Maybe if they were around for swiftboat and thought Kerry had a good response. Or possibly religiously reads Kos and Wonkette and think they know something like it is still 2006

The only appropriate reaction to a political attack has ever been "suck my dick you fuckman", and segue to your own message. Never let 'em talk about what they want to talk about.

Here is the entire article:

quote:

Political activist and Green Party Presidential candidate, Ralph Nader, who is known for being tough on Democrats tells Ari Melber it would be good for Mike Bloomberg to run against Trump as a Democrat in 2020, saying “Wall Street is his weakness” but that “he could shake up the Democratic Party”. Nader also slams Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez for refusing to answer his calls and emails.

I got told that wasn't even the topic of conversation and that DNA tests and blood quantum will help Native people in their search for rights in these dark days.

When I asked what the gently caress the topic of conversation even was about then, they ignored me.
