Hey, that little bit makes her ancestry way more American than Trump's.
But, he should man up and donate that million bucks
Oh, btw, if Trump knew anything about Pocahontas, he wouldn't choose her name as a mockery. It's not much different to the fact that we name property and even our military helicopters after native peoples.
Anyway, I don't think Warren can use native ancestry to persuade anyone to vote for her. I think her best move would be to do as much as she could for the native peoples in her area and in general. The people who use Pocahontas or native peoples as objects of mockery won't vote for her anyway. People on the rez won't care much; they just hope they'll be allowed to vote. For example, just this month,
North Dakota’s 2017 voter law ID was challenged by Native residents who alleged that the law disproportionately blocked Native Americans from voting. In April, a federal district court judge blocked large portions of the law as discriminatory against Native voters. “The State has acknowledged that Native American communities often lack residential street addresses,” Judge Daniel Hovland wrote. “Nevertheless, under current State law an individual who does not have a ‘current residential street address’ will never be qualified to vote.” According to the website of the Native American Rights Fund, which represents the plaintiffs, many native residents lack residential street addresses because “the U.S. postal service does not provide residential delivery in these rural Indian communities.”As a result, tribal IDs use P.O. boxes, which are not sufficient under North Dakota’s new law—a specification that seems designed to disenfranchise native voters. Hovland’s ruling was in place during the primaries this spring.
Long story short, the Supreme Court upheld the law. So, ya got your people who'll say that "it's the law." And, then there are those who'll say that it's obviously meant to stop some people from voting. Yeah, why don't streets on the rez have names and numbers? Well, you could ask the same about trailer-parks or places where people pick up their mail from boxes in town.
Why this in political humor? Different jokes for different folks.
