I'm just going to put this out there for you all to think about. If you are taking your moral cues from politicians, pundits, or lobbying groups, you've got it precisely backwards. They are supposed to be taking their positions based on what you believe. The other way around is the tail wagging the dog.

Tribal affiliation had nothing to do with bloodlines in what's now the US until the white man decided it did; it was entirely a social matter. It wasn't an everyday thing but going from one tribe to another wasn't remotely unheard of. You could even be white, black, asian, etc... and get accepted as a member of an existing tribe if they liked you enough.
So, basically, if she's actually involved with her tribe, claim away. If not, I'm fairly certain whatever tribe she's claiming has plenty of dicks she can suck in it.

Well since she never claimed tribal affiliation your statement was first stupid and then unnecessarily rude. The fact that you claim no partisan aspect to your commentary makes it even stupider.
This topic is about Trump being racist and Warren calling him out. so why the negative commentary on your part that doesn't even match reality? Usually that is explained by partisan loyalty but you have apparently zero reason for your sexist statement of "I'm fairly certain whatever tribe she's claiming has plenty of dicks she can suck in it."
All I did was point out your shitty behavior, not my fault you're bent out of shape and can't admit to being an asshole. Queue, "Oh I'm an asshole and anybody who doesn't like it can suck my dick! I don't give a fuuuuck!"

So it turns out the Russian "mistake" that left that tiny hole in the ISS was actually part of an experiment in a advanced non-local quantum phenomena. What they observed was that any space attuned the right frequency was able to pick up non-local vibrations. Thus that tiny hole could pick up vibrations from Earth even though the atmosphere does not extend far enough upward to make it possible. We can dress up non-local quantum effects with all the fancy science words we want but it really is just easier to call it magic. They've been recording a specific frequency up there tuned to the high pitched "re" sounds emitted by special individuals such as yourself. This lets us track and monitor potential threats to our great nation.

Your own link shows Warren addresses the criticism clearly today.
Now if only certain other politicians had the capability to admit / clarify their positions. I viewed her position as a stand against some blatant racism and not some "I'm a minority too!" bullshit. Thanks for the link, restores a little of my faith in humanity.
Please note this whole thing started with Trump being his usual asshole self and using Pocahontas as a nick name. So once again the clear issue is one shitty person being shitty and getting called out. The defenders of shitdom have contorted the issue into a big confusing ball of stupid. How about we just agree that Trump is an asshole racist and there is nothing else to get riled up about?

It was mostly about the added validity that ancestry gave her under intersectionality theory.
.
I don't ascribe to that theory, but I also don't expect she would have done genetic testing to prove something she didn't honestly believe was true either.

Of course she promptly tried to double down on the results by saying NO = YES. That was dumb and generated well deserved ridicule.

Some people are hopeless - whether they can't think and can only follow or they are easily manipulated or what ever reason exists for this segment to behave the way they do it doesn't really mater because they do exist. I don't know what the proportion is; I hope it is low but I fear it is high. I've heard something like 50% of the human population can't plan ahead more than 5 minutes and if you look at people drive this seems about right.
What are these people supposed to do? Come up with their own opinion? They just aren't going to be able to. They need to follow. They need to be led. That's why I think it is important to have politicians that can inspire and are worthy of following.
I'll let you know when I think we have any.
