    Fuck Debbie Wasserman Shultz. You can draw a direct line from this bitch rigging the Democratic primary for Hillary “turd sandwich” Clinton to the dumpster fire we’re witnessing today.

    Using ‘woke’ as a pejorative has a long history in conservative discourse. Before that, it was called ‘politically correct’ and before that it was called ‘bleeding heart’.

    It all means the same thing: that liberals pretend to care about marginalized people as a cynical ploy to get/keep power.

    The reason this insult has such lasting power is because it’s apt.

      Not that I disagree, but what’s the relationship between the statement and the headline. This is an inside the party fight.
