Elissa Slotkin to Fellow-Democrats: “Speak in Plain English”

And I'll work with anybody who's willing to do that because we need more legal vetted immigrants coming here, working here, building their lives here. And to me, like that's that is controversial. I'm going to get some emails about that statement. OK, right. But I think we need to be willing to say that not everything can be perfect in this world.

I'll take some change rather than no change and waiting for the perfect to be the enemy, the good.

Yeah, it was literally just the word. My dad asked me what it meant, and then a bunch of other people Ask me what it meant. That's it. It's just a word. Like, just say we have no king or whatever you want to say. But I think actually it says a lot more about the state of the Democratic Party that we are arguing about a word.

I mean, I know like the media likes to, you know, get seams between Democrats. It's the word and that people were asking me what it meant. And so can we just reframe the like, just say what you said.

You know, I think that as someone who just won on the same ballot with Donald Trump, as someone who represents a very independently minded swing state, as someone whose dad asked her what the word mean, I don't think people are dumb. I just think the Democratic Party can speak in plain English and be more effective.

I think in general, I agree with this premise that we need to change the government. And I worked in the government my entire life, right? I ran a big office at the Pentagon. If you had said to me, hey, we got to take an 8% cut, I know exactly where I'd cut, right? This idea that there's no fat on the bone is not accurate. And I'm sorry, it's just not true.
