Senator Elissa Slotkin expressed her views during a town hall, contrasting her approach to activism with those of progressive counterparts like Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders. While acknowledging their passionate expressions against President Trump, she critiqued their effectiveness, questioning what tangible changes they have achieved. Slotkin underscored her pragmatic stance, noting her focus on legislative action in a politically diverse state rather than engaging in high-profile protests. She contended that the media often vilifies female legislators by framing their disagreements as rivalries, which diverges from the collaborative spirit essential for diverse representation within the Democratic Party.
"Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump?"
"I can't do what she does because we live in a purple state, and I'm a pragmatist."
