Driving to the east side during that time? lol no.
Look at that first tweeter's twitter bio and all will be explained. He's one of those (toxic) types.What the fuck?
Kamala was asked what was the first thing she'd pass when she became president not what her number one priority would be. This is blatant disingenuous nonsense from Warren
Warren is running the campaign the way you run an issue advocacy/awareness campaign that knows it's probably not gonna win. Focusing on positivity and going after the GOP.Warren won't win the primary. Im okay with her staying tho to steal some of Bernie's voters and so she can use the primary to further her platform.
Racism. Everytime White voters troll their own livelihoods it's because politicians have weaponized racism.Yep, she basically nailed the message I'd be going with if I was running the 2020 Democratic campaign.
America has always spoken of itself as the miraculous country where anything is possible. Yet you have the entire Republican Party and most of the Democratic Party telling you that you can't even have things that other first world countries have already implemented successfully, like universal healthcare, renewable energy reform, living wage provisions and college tuition assistance schemes that don't burden graduates with insurmountable debt.
What the fuck went so wrong to make America let its political leadership so brazenly bullshit the people, and even worse, they believe them.
It's not the trolling, the whole thing encapsulates the core fear that she's a policy wonk/academic first, politician second, with the fear that nominating her would be a repeat of the issues we saw with our candidates in 2000 and 2016.The US elections are pretty much a middle school popularity contest. Warren is done just by 7th grade tier Pocahontas trolling? Is this the state of things?

I think Warren should be done in by the fact that
she adopted an insultingly naive definition of what being First Nations means, all the while providing a DNA test that proved that, at best, she is 1/64th indigenous (of some kind).
Amongst other incredibly insensitive and dumb things she's said in the times she's addressed this scandal she said "My papaw had high cheekbones like all of the Indians do."
It's really tragic that many people(?) are letting the media narrative largely determine their support for Warren.
The American Indian thing is a big deal right now because the media is making it so. But that's largely a fault of the media, not Warren. Sure it's an issue, but the media are massively blowing it out of proportion.
Sadly I think people are right that this would haunt her in the general. But that's the fault of the media. If you want to be angry at someone, direct most of your anger at them.
Explain how this in any way furthered herself.The dumb ass deserves every bit of her negative coverage, she is a scumbag that used fake minority status to further herself.

She literally apologized earlier this week for calling herself Native American.

Explain to me how this furthered her career?People burying their heads to the fact she has furthered herself in her career by claiming to be Native American.
Trump has done us a favor by exposing this scumbag early, before she got passed the primaries.

Wait! Warren is the perfect person to PUNCH Kamala from the left while Bernie does not get tarnished. But since Warren is obviously unelectable, she will be done by Iowa. Wow the perfect plan. All it takes now is for Biden to destroy himself and Bernie will be president.
The US elections are pretty much a middle school popularity contest.

"The following is for statistical purposes only and will not be disclosed to any person or organization without the express written consent of the attorney:"
She honestly believed herself to be Native American, because that is what her family told her for her whole life. There is literally no other reason to write that there. The form itself states there is no advantage/disadvantage to be gained.
Do you understand what a bar registration card is?
The dumb ass deserves every bit of her negative coverage, she is a scumbag that used fake minority status to further herself.
Gotta love how Trump can survive all his BS but Warren is done in by this Pocahontas BS.
Even my Liberal Dad calls her it.
People looked into it, there is no evidence her claims of minority status furthered her career.
This is one form, she has used this fake minority status everywhere

Did she believe she had Native American ancestors in her family or that she was Native American though? The form seems to imply the latter which is obviously not something she should have reasonably believed.
She believed she was mixed. Her family stories suggested her mother was part Native American, and her father's parents actually opposed their marriage because of it.
We have at least another 20 months of this.How is this not the biggest news story in the world right now?
Trump makes "Trail of Tears" joke
MAGAt makes "Native American genocide" joke
Trump Jr posts photo on Instagram "Savage!!!"
Warren was born in 1949 into a white middle-class family. It's safe to say she did not get the lessons in cultural awareness our generations did on the internet.Yeah so unless you subscribe to a really strict definition of the one drop rule that doesn't seem very smart to define yourself as a Native American on a form like that when you think you have, at best, mixed racial heritage.

Yep. It doesn't make the President's Racism any less disgusting, but Warren deserves shit for this and her publicity stunt makes me believe she still didn't' really get it. I have an extremely hard time believing she didn't know what she was doing and not question putting that on official documents.The dumb ass deserves every bit of her negative coverage, she is a scumbag that used fake minority status to further herself.

Yeah, I mean I don't think anyone is saying that she wasn't naive. I just think it's pretty clear she wasn't acting maliciously as some suggest. There was no advantage to be gained by writing that on that form. Unless she honestly believed it, why would she do it?
It was a dumbass move to call herself "American Indian." She's not American Indian.The dumb ass deserves every bit of her negative coverage, she is a scumbag that used fake minority status to further herself.
The fact that warrens blunders is getting so much attention, shows where peoples priorities are. Why not take some time to see whose policies would benefit the native community more and push politicians to comment on native concerns.

I do kind of wonder a bit about the people who insist it was a huge advantage in the 1970s to go around putting "American Indian" on all your job applications.
Well its dumb and imma call it dumb. This is more aimed at the media, which i feel could do a better job of launching of this to talk about wider native issues instead of treating this just like a basket ball game.That's not how politics works. Policy will be less priority to optics, that's just how we're wired.
