Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) urged her Democratic colleagues to stop attacking the "oligarchy," arguing that the word did not resonate with most Americans.
Funny that she’s used the word “oligarchs” plenty for Putin’s bunch, but now thinks it’s too “coastal” when applied to American oligarchs. She’s never been concerned about people getting it before, but the moment it might describe America she’s very concerned. Not that they’ll misunderstand it, but that they will.
Slotkin says she wants to take the focus off of Oligarchy and Putin’s smile just gets a few inches wider.
Yeah if she wasn’t CIA I’d perhaps understand her perspective of wanting to focus on just attacking Trump as the King
But… this issue is so beyond Trump that focusing it on him will just make people go back to normal when he’s gone - which is not okay

Yeah, at some part the conversation starts being about class conflict, and Slotkin will never go there.
with the botox on putin, doubt he can smile.
