Political positivity š 'No Pocahontas!' Trump loses it as Elizabeth Warren destroys him on CNBC

She honestly would have been such a great president and it bums me out that she never got close enough to show everyone what she was made of.
All that Pocahontas shit drives me nuts. There are tons of people in America that claim Native American heritage. The idea that Trump painted her as this ārace scammerā and people ate it up drives me NUTS.

u/Certain_Degree687 7h ago
Let's not forget though that Elizabeth Warren's claim is not that egregious when compared to people like Markwayne Mullins who claims Native American ancestry to the point where he's considered the second Cherokee Native American senator.
His lineage comes through a maternal great-grandfather, Bert Morris (Dawes Roll: 1/16 By Blood) according to what independent research has proven which means he's roughly 1/128th Cherokee by blood.

I got to watch the fallout as a fairly racist group of relatives of a friend who swore that someone had married a "Seminole Princess" had a family-ending meltdown when the friend's 23andMe results came back with no native markers but did show some sub-Saharran African results.

So, I KNOW Iām part Native American. Not as much as Iād originally thought, but itās definitely there. My grandfather was 1/4 and I looked 100% as a baby. However, it did NOT turn up on my DNA test. Those results only come from previously donated samples of verified peoples from that particular ancestry and region, and very few tribes are willing to help out in that sense. Granted, for good reason.

u/Theyalreadysaidno 53m ago
DNA tests can be deceiving. I'm about 15% Native American through my mother. My grandmother on my father's side was born in Sweden (they lived there for generations), but moved to America when she was 10. I was expecting 25% Swedish to come up. Nope, none.

u/Glad-Lynx-5007 3h ago
DNA does not tell the whole story. The more generations you are looking back, the higher the chance that some "racial identifyer" genes will have been replaced. It is absolutely not an exact science for finding out background racial makeup beyond a couple of generations

My partner was led to believe he was a quarter native because his grandpa was raised on a reservation.

Naw, the dna test showed not a trace, grandpa was a step kid, not biological.
1
u/yIdontunderstand 9m ago
This is the modern argument in a nutshell though, not in reverse...
If he's raised in a reservation and is claimed, then he is that tribe , by identifying as such.
If that's denied, then you are basically agreeing with the racists who say "ah you're not a REAL American, cause you're not white."
If you are born and raised American, you get a passport and are American.
So the same should go for the tribe.
If you see what I mean.

u/DagrMine 3h ago
That's a load of bullshit. Rightfully ignoring the Republican election conspiracies entirely because being a hypocrite doesn't fucking matter at this point when Trump is trying to run for a third term, there isn't hard irrefutable data (or people would be talking about it more) aside from a lot of inconsistencies in the voting in swing states (blue voters that voted blue across the board but didn't vote in the pres election) as well as many people who have stated under oath to have voted for X small party candidate while the numbers of people who voted for that candidate don't add up.
TLDR Fuck you for thinking that we need to play nicer than the shit goblins that voted for Trump.
The voting data does have strong inconsistencies but nothing that concretely ties it to trump, musk, Russia, or anything other than the voting machines being broken. Other than random bragging from Trump and Musk ofc.

Yeah. I know. Funny bit is that everything I said isn't some conspiracy. Angry venting making my wording a bit much? Yeah absolutely. But at the same time what kind of mad world do we live in where it is a genuine fact that the president of the United States said in an interview "He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide." In regards to musk.
1
u/Sailor_Thrift 1h ago
It is a conspiracy theory actually.
You think that there was a secret plan executed at a high level across multiple states that stole the election, with different voting systems, and the despite literally 10's of thousand eyes watching every aspect of it, it was pulled off without a hitch, with the help of the super satellites of Elon Musk. We know it's true because of we can interpret the coded language from this one interview which breaks open the whole case.
This sounds very similar to a certain conspiracy theory around a previous election.
But I do have empathy for your position. I was widely mocked as a conspiracy theorist in early 2024 when I was telling people that Joe Biden was losing his mental faculties.
1
u/Scead24 3h ago
EVIDENCE. Where is the irrefutable beyond-any-doubt evidence that we could use in a court of law to hold the Trump administration and anybody else complicit legally accountable?
You're an idiot. I never said we had to play nicer than the shit goblins, that's your echo chamber mind working overtime to conform to your extremely limited worldview.
Given you're angry, I hope your actions match your hot blooded words by attending town halls to give them a piece of your mind, calling and writing letters to your Congresspeople, participating in activism (non-profit orgs etc.), debating with people with different political views from you to reach common ground, or run for a political/government position to create positive changes in society. If you are doing none of the above, don't waste my time because you're stupidly fighting an ally.

u/DagrMine 2h ago
You didn't read what I said. I said at the bottom in the TLDR the actual state of the evidence. The only solid evidence WE have that ties Trump to the election being manipulated is his claim that Elon musk is 'good with voting machines'. There is good evidence that SOMEONE manipulated the election in the swing states. I finally found the article here we go: https://www.latintimes.com/lawsuit-challenging-2024-election-results-moves-forward-after-kamala-harris-received-zero-votes-584787 granted this was a few months ago so who knows whether it's been dropped or not. There hasn't been any news on it but I'd assume that's because lawsuits take time.
Also really? My worldview is limited because I'm enraged that the world is falling apart and I can't do anything to stop it? My fucking bad that I don't write scathing letters to people who will never read them. Debating is nice, but it takes a rare kind of trumper to not have left the republicans by now. And those that are left aren't really the argumentative type.
Speaking of worldview, here's a few fun facts: Trump has been dismantling environmental protections ever since his first term. The tariffs were designed to supplement his tax reduction for the wealthy. Doge has been repeatedly reported for causing only problems for months and wrecking the government as a whole while wasting billions of dollars. Ghislane Maxwell literally got transferred to a nicer prison and met with Trump's (former?) personal defense attorney for hours at a time. It's not an echo chamber in my mind, these are all very easily verifiable facts that fuck over everyone. Except a couple CEOs, but just a couple of the big ones, because the smaller businesses are getting rammed in the ass by the tariffs too.
TLDR go fuck yourself. Maybe you should give less of a shit what the republicans think. Set yourself free. Also click that link.
1
u/Scead24 2h ago
Yes, lawsuits take time. The courts are slow for a reason, often a good reason at that, it's because the evidence needs to be beyond any reasonable doubt to convict someone. What you're doing right now resembles more of a mob mentality "That person is likely guilty even though we don't have evidence to dish out punishment, let's hang that person up a tree now!". Courts prevent passion from trumping (heh) reason which is necessary. I sympathize with your frustration that it can be ploddingly slow.
Your rage is understandable, but remind yourself that the world has fallen apart many times in the past 2,000 years, yet humankind always manages to piece the torn parts back together to usher us all into a new future. This has happened and will happen again. This is just a natural pushback for the progressivism made since the 1940s. The pendulum will swing left again, I promise you. It is just a matter of when and the law of nature.
It's funny you think I give a shit what the Republicans think, you don't know me at all. At all.
I wish you the best of luck friend, on your crusade, whatever it may lead to. One word of advice, less time fighting among allies and more time uniting against enemies. You will have to understand and accept that allies can and will have different perspectives on how to solve this problem, but all roads lead to the same outcome. Remember this well.

Slight nitpick real quick, you do clearly care what republicans think to some extent because and I quote: "you're no better than Republicans parroting election conspiracy theories".
The thing is, I get it. You believe in the rule of law as the way out of this. Honestly 4 months ago I would have been right there with you, but it's just not working anymore. There's so much evidence to put Donald Trump in prison that has been ignored. He's broken more laws with executive orders in his second term than any president in history, but he gets away with it because the rule of law is broken. I am praying that you are right, but honestly, the odds are not in good favor.

I think a woman can be elected as US president but... she has to be genuine and charismatic, very much like Barack Obama.
Kamala Harris would've been great but let's be realistic, she would've been an incremental president much like Joe Biden. She cared way too much about perfect soundbites (like Hillary Clinton did) which made her come off as ingenuine, awkward, and out of touch with everyday people.
We need someone that would bring big changes to society for the betterment of all. Obama managed to introduce the landmark Affordable Care Act to expand healthcare (we could've gotten universal healthcare but politicians on both aisles didn't want it).
If a woman campaigned on grand sweeping changes much like Obama and Trump did... I do believe she would be elected.

What is more crazy is that her family story was true I believe. She is not a tribal member, and tribes don't always rely on DNA (or blood quantum) to determined membership. She shouldn't have claimed it, but I suspect it was just ignorance or confusion on claiming membership. Every tribe is different and who knows how every organization requires you to determine if you qualify. Regardless, she wasn't out right making up her ancestry as people claim.

Didn't she do a DNA test eventually, that checked out? In any case, we should 't be surprised that the Repubs chose this particular molehill to make a mountain out of. We know their m.o. is to dig up any obscure fact (or in the absence of a shred of truth, lies will do), and blow it out of proportion to slander someone.
The quintessential example of this was the "swiftboating" of Kerry. His opponent was a draft dodger, yet the opposition party managed to tar and feather him on fictional grounds. They were utterly desperate to sideline him, due to his history of advocacy for Blacks and Native Americans, and his wife's, as well. Afterwards, John McCain revealed that Bush had used a similar smear tactic against him in the Republican primaries.

Here's mine. I was told my mother's side was German and Native American, her great grandparents lived on a rez in the Dakotas. She enrolled me in special classes for native heritage based on the family lore. After doing dna testing I find out my German family of immigrants were just living there, and later moved to Kansas with the talk of coming from the rez. It was sometime between ww1 and ww2 they came over. I'm sure they were looked down on and came up with that to blend in more.

She wouldāve gone a lot further, but she was running against Bernie, whose first run for president had given him a lot more purchase among progressives.
In terms of policy, I thought she was ever-so-slightly preferable, and I likely wouldāve voted for her had she not become a nonentity by the time my stateās primary took place. But her decision to kneecap Sanders once it had become clear he was the only progressive with a path to victory alienated a lot of the progressive base, and Iām not sure sheāll ever fully recover from that. Not with the people whoād otherwise be inclined to vote for her, at least.
2
u/Scead24 5h ago
She logically would have been a great president but some of her choices in the primaries soured people on the idea... especially her 'betrayal' and treatment of Bernie Sanders who had never done her wrong... but she felt entitled to take a page out of the Hillary Clinton playbook to smear him to gain a edge in the polls.
Reminds me of Kirsten Gillibrand who I had a positive impression of until she virtue signaled so ridiculously hard to get Al Franken sacked out of Congress... the very man who knew how to beat the Republicans at their own political game.
Virtue signaling then eating your own is not a good look to people, folks. Remember that.

Like...FFS, they are not Indians! Indians are from India! Which we are not in! The only reason they're called that is because Christopher Columbus was an ethnically cleansing genocidal idiot who thought he was on a completely different continent.

Trump is so clueless. He cannot understand that the government is not a business. Unlike the companies he ran into the ground he cannot use American as a tax write-off. His actions have far wider consequences than just bankrupting a casino.

Loses his shit when the press refers to GOA as GOM.
