Elizabeth Warren's Native American Problem

I think this would haunt her, if she ran for President. But you know, so much was overlooked to elect Trump, it might not really matter.

While true in a purely sterile sense, the Democrat party is the party of identity politics so these actions should be something that would work well in their primary competition by her opponents. Imagine a minority Democrat candidate of any flavor calling her out int he middle of a debate over this. Man...she'd never recover. If she has any intention of running she's going to have to make some kind of copout apology pretty soon so it has time to heal a little before it comes up.
 
The morality of the questions being put to Warren are unaffected by support of lack of it I have for Trump. Go play whataboutism and moral relativism with someone else I can see the hook in that post.

Just wondering how consistent you are. You opinion carries zero weight if you give Trump a pass.

Do you really believe that one has anything to do with the other? Both are wrong. But only one of them is acting from a position as the moral high ground and that is Warren.

That is right. And if you judge her for this non-story then you are showing your pre-disposed bias.

I am not judging her. Look at my post where I said this shouldn't have an impact. But when you adopt a holier than thou pose you damn sure better live up to it or it will bite you in the ass.
 
Her problem is that some Native American activists believe she has illegitimately appropriated their heritage.

And Native Americans are of course best known for influencing the political process.
 
You do seem to be pretty darned fascinated by this non-story.

It's "man bites dog," and those are rare. My #296 repeated:

I started the thread because it's an interesting and unusual situation. The bonus is that it's not about Trump, of whom I'm quite tired. It has been fascinating that DPers on the left can't get out of their left-right defensive crouch to think about a real practical political problem that could have an impact in the Presidential primaries.

Unless EW gets in front of the issue with a test or an apology their grievance could have quite an impact in the Democratic primaries, where activists have more influence.

Agree to disagree. :thumbs:
 
As you wish.

I already said I hope she doesn't run for POTUS, but I'll vote for her if she does. And no matter what comes or doesn't come of this whole NA thing isn't going to move the needle one blip for me.

That said, if she actually did what you believe she should do for her own political expediency, I would actually lose a small amount of respect for her.

That's fine. The question for her is whether she loses more (or anything) by standing pat or by taking some action. That's why politics is interesting.
 
I think it’s common that liberals are using self identification criss because they are willing to do whatever to get the vote

Yes, and I don't agree with that. Not every liberal likes that.

Interesting how you avoid the US genocide against Native Americans and pick on a tiny subject for which neither you nor your article offers any proof.

Evidence/proof is anathema to those of a conservative bent, isn't it, Jack? Why didn't you point out the incredible irony of Trump questioning others about lies?

You know that lying is as American as apple pie, as American as the fiction that G Washington would never lie, as big a fiction as the USA is a kind and benevolent country. The lies, the fictions, the falsities, the ... are woven into the very fabric of the USA.

And are you attempting to advance the notion that that is not the same for the Republican group?

Have you anything but your OPINION to add?
