It's part of the strategy of the far left to help push the Democratic Party further left by vilifying anything and everything associated with its party's center.
EDIT: Adding that I really can't see, otherwise, how it's relevant.
- claudeganon 7y agoCarney stanning for a company trying to frame a black labor organizer with the “not articulate” dog whistle does enough of that work by itself. I don’t think they need any help from the “far left.”
- tw04 7y agoExcept Carney didn't say that. >“He’s not smart, or articulate, and to the extent the press wants to focus on us versus him, we will be in a much stronger PR position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how we’re trying to protect workers,” wrote Amazon General Counsel David Zapolsky in notes from the meeting forwarded widely in the company.
- claudeganon 7y agoNever said he said it. I said he’s defending a company whose taking this line to discredit Smalls. Go read my post again and Carney’s Twitter feed if you need further clarification.
- creddit 7y agoAgain, though, it's not really relevant that he worked as Obama's PR guy, right? I have no idea if he's dumb, this interview doesn't suggest so, but here's an interview[0] of him and he's definitely not particularly articulate in it. The concept of the "dog whistle" is pretty ridiculous. It makes it so that you literally can never have a black person be described as inarticulate regardless of reality. It's just another way to control speech. 0: https://youtu.be/15HUGc7R8hw?t=107 https://youtu.be/15HUGc7R8hw?t=107
