In reply to the discussion: 'It's not just one district': Ocasio-Cortez pushes back on Pelosi [View all]R B Garr
(17,454 posts)been an issue for decades. No one alive hasn't heard of it, so it's not a new ideation, it has just been co-opted and weaponized to elevate the speaker, to distinguish them and to bestow upon them some kind of purity and esteem. So they are exploiting "corporations," too, in an effort to enhance their image. There really is no need for this repetition. This was all in prior posts.
Calling people simplistic names like "corporate" Democrat is just another way to campaign and it divides Democrats into good/evil camps so that the speaker can elevate themselves. They exploit the word, too. Being called a corporate Dem is an insult to mean you are not a pure Democrat and you are "cozy" with corporation, a totally inane and banal accusation which never comes with any proof. You call it a "certain vision" which is a dressed up way to describe what I just did -- divisive rhetoric meant to elevate the speaker and imply a superior position.
This is all just repetitive now. You have basically agreed with my summation of how calling Democrats "corporate" is meant as an insult and to divide Democrats into camps. This is all repetitive now. It was all in prior posts.
