I gotta disagree, tons of progressive friends I know really don't like Warren for bastardizing indigenous background and literally submitting a recipe to a relative's 'pow wow cookbook'; this is something Trump can easily just repeat and wipe her with

If that's the attack he was making, it would be effective. But Trump doesn't have the context to understand what cultural appropriation is or why it's bad. He knows this is something that hurt Warren, so he should keep reminding people of it.

But he doesn't get that the reason it's bad is because claiming that ancestry was disrespectful. And you can't call someone out on that by making a bunch of racist jokes.

The point of the Pocahontas attack isn’t to actually make people mad about her appropriation, it’s to utterly swallow up the media narrative and keep Warren on the defensive.

With the brazen leaking going on, people must really not be scared of him or his wraith.

I'm wondering if there are some staffers who see leaking, and then getting ejected for leaking, as a way out of the Trump machine. Everyone knows now that being part of the Trump House is a massive black mark on your record afterwards, but some might think that getting expelled as a leaker who was "rebelling" against Trump as a way to gain back some social credit and lessen that black mark.

Two immediate reasons come to mind:

1) He's already been kicked off of square, stripe, paypal. Perhaps he's trying to do transaction clearing with his company account directly? Banks don't like that when...

2) He's misrepresenting who's doing the selling because their shop has the ability to "become a vendor" which means they're acting as a middleman, and that's a huge fraud risk that most depository banks want nothing to do with.

I'd be more concerned about Wisconsin personally. MI and PA seem to be doing quite well in terms of election results and polling, the state Dems are energized and a lot of the swing voters seem to realize Trump duped them and Rs they've voted for are enabling their being screwed by him. Wisconsin on the other hand seems to be a 21st Century Bleeding Kansas waiting to happen given how battle lines between chuds and human beings have hardened since they lost the executive branch.

Iowa could also use some love, and there will have to be a lot of careful thought put into strategies for North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Arizona. The big question mark is whether Ohio is worth fighting for or if it's a lost cause.

I just don’t see why Warren has to respond ?

Everytime Trump brings it up and calls her “Pocahontas “ all she has to do is say:

“While the President is calling me racist nicknames him and his cronies are in the pockets of Putin, Wall Street, killing your healthcare, your tax returns, and polluting your communities”

Repeat add naseum to every idiot “Both Sides” journalist that brings it up to.

I always love it when the spin from these weirdo extremists is that various businesses are discriminating against 'Republicans' when it's the Republicans who really ought to be explaining that no, it's because you guys are loud, racists hacks.

The fact that Republicans won't even while banks are kicking out the Proud Boys says a lot about Republicans.

So at the time of the DNA test, there were documented evidence that she claimed native heritage. She had to respond to it or else you were going to get swift boated to death and the media would of been relentless about it.

She can do it now, she has apologized, she has talked to the Cherokee nation and the Boston Globe did a pretty thorough investigation saying she never benefited from it. At this point, she can just say I apologized, I made a mistake, and Trump is an rear end in a top hat but also represents a bigger problem.

Who gives a poo poo what Trumo says. If Warren is gonna advocate for progressive policies then that’s all she should be talking about.

Conservatives are gonna find something to attack regardless of who is running. Responding to their bullshit with anything but passing condescension is a failure. And in that way Warren has failed multiple times. See how AOC deals with the trolls, that’s what we need in a candidate.

People should stop invoking Swift Boating as if it was the reason he lost instead of being a lovely candidate running against a president still benefiting from the war bump.

You can’t calmly and rationally explain your way out of our current incredibly polarized politics. You’re never going to persuade the people on the other side and you end up spending all your time trying to do that instead of rallying your own voters.

Yep. The shitstain is only appealing to its dwindling base with the "TRAIL" bs. That plow won't scour for the rest of us in the growing majority.

Meanwhile the rest of us can have a cogent discussion about how lovely Native Americans have been and are being treated, while at the same time applauding Warren's apparent left turn and at the same time shaming her for her gently caress ups as she maybe grows into an actual possible nominee.

For more information, I would go to the 2020 Democratic Primary: Groundhog Day thread (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3879821) but I don't care.
