Jen Psaki to leave White House in coming weeks

[Calthrina950]

Well, Psaki lasted far longer than any of Trump's Press Secretaries, but that's a low bar. I can only recall Obama having two Press Secretaries (Jay Carney and Josh Earnest) during his Administration.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders outlasted Psaki

Really? Well, that means Psaki outlasted the other Trump Press Secretaries.

Knowing the Biden administration, the next secretary will probably pull the same never-take-responsibility BS we've gotten used to.

I've said before that Psaki is the epitome of the limousine white liberal, who is college-educated, lives in a nice upper-middle class to upper class suburban area, probably shops at Whole Foods or some other higher-end store, and sends their children to private or elite schools.

So what, she lives a decent life. Any person in her position would do the same. No senior White House staffer is going to live in some dump and send their kids to a school where they have to walk through a metal detector, and we shouldn't expect them to.

I'm not saying that she should be living in poverty or in the "inner city". I'm just highlighting that she's not the best spokesperson for this Administration.

This reeks of jealousy. If you want a good life get out and work for it. Stop begrudging strangers for what you don't have.

This is the problem with some people, they put image ahead of qualifications. Who cares what her income is? She's there to provide information to the press.

I'm not surprised that you would be defending Psaki. These are very condescending remarks for you to make, for you to say that I should get off my behind and stop complaining. Would you care to say that to many other voters who are working hard and are still struggling in this country? I doubt you would. The Democratic Party should be the party that stands up for the working class and recognizes their contributions, not belittle them as you and others here have done.

There is no need for me to defend on the basis of which you attacked her for because she has done nothing wrong by having an upper income. You attacked her for reasons that make no logical sense other than you have some jealousy issues that are personal. This has nothing to do with the working class as a whole, but you attacking Jen Psaki for something that isn't even relevant to how she does her job. Most of the working class are too busy working to sit around hating strangers for having money.

There you again! I've noted elsewhere many times how I work a distinctly blue-collar job, and I work five days a week, every week. I'm not sitting around on my laurels and doing nothing but complaining about others. I've been clear about my negative views of Psaki from before, and they are views that are not shared by me alone. Your attitude is that Psaki should be entirely above criticism, and that any criticism of Democratic politicians or public figures, period, is off limits. I would disagree with that.

Again, Psaki's income has nothing to do with her job performance. If you don't like how she answers questions that is a valid criticism, but criticizing her income is weird. I never said Democrats were above criticism, but your criticism is personal rather than political.

It's not just her income. I have been critical of how she's conducted herself in these press conferences, and how she's responded to questions. Particularly so, when she advised people to drink a margarita or to do yoga, or some other such activity, when the voting rights measures passed by House Democrats failed in the Senate. I was critical of Trump's Press Secretaries as well, and I don't have a high opinion of them in general. And I initially had a positive view of Psaki, seeking her as a change from McEnany. So this is certainly not a personal criticism, and not the only one I've made.

Like I've said before, we probably share more in common on the issues than you would like to acknowledge, but because you don't acknowledge it and have no interest in forming a consensus, that is why these arguments result.

This is bizarrely specific, and I feel like this rant isn't really about Psaki.

It seems more like you're just projecting your frustration that "cringe wine moms" are a more influential voting bloc than you'd like them to be.

I've been critical of Psaki before, as I've explained above. But yes, I will say that I don't think the absorption of wealthy suburbanites into the Democratic coalition is necessarily a good thing for the Party or for its policy development.

Wait why would you care if it’s a good or bad thing anyway, shouldn’t you look at the content of what parties have to offer rather than care about their coalitions?

The party coalitions can have an effect upon the policies promoted by that Party. Wealthy, college-educated suburbanites, for the most part, don't truly understand or sympathize with the difficulties faced by working-class Americans of all stripes on a daily basis.

I'm not sure why would you care care if their wealthy white suburbanites as upper class suburbanites of any race can be out of touch with the working class. But anyways if you are talking about wealthy suburbanites, if it was somebody who grew up working class and made them successful through working hard then I'll applaud them for it but if it was somebody who was born into wealthy family(or basically a trust fund baby) then it's understandable to question to their worldview. But anyways I dont do classist attacks on people without their context of their upbringing and what their values are

I'm not saying that people who work hard and who climb up the economic ladder should be condemned. But I fail to understand why some on here are so "in love" with this particular woman.
