Just last week, Democrat strategists released a list of ‘woke words’ that they recommended Democrats stop using if they want to win elections. Some people on the right suggested that Democrats could never do it and this story seems to be proof of that.
At the opening of the summer meeting of the DNC, they included a ‘land acknowledgement’ that claimed Minneapolis sits on stolen land.
This is the type of woke nonsense that Democrats just can’t seem to divorce themselves from. They can’t let go of it, even as their approval numbers continue to sink.

WATCH: DNC opens summer meeting with land acknowledgment, claims that US suppresses indigenous history
The Democratic National Committee kicked off its annual summer meeting in Minneapolis with a “land acknowledgment” that included an assertion that the U.S. perpetuates a system of suppression.
“Let’s talk about the land for a second,” said Lindy Sowmick, treasurer of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) and self-described “Indigenous queer woman,” after DNC Chairman Ken Martin introduced her to recite the acknowledgment.
“The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate – the Dakota people – who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis,” Sowmick continued. “The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes and the Wakpa Tanka – the ‘Great River,’ the Mississippi River – for thousands of years before colonization. This land was not claimed, or traded – it’s a part of a history of broken treaties and promises. And, in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress Indigenous peoples’ cultural and spiritual history.”
Sowmick encouraged members of the Democratic Party to see the “land acknowledgment” as more than just “the checking of a box.”

If Democrats really believe this, why don’t they just give the land back to the people they believe it was stolen from? You’ll notice that never seems to occur to them. It’s all just virtue signaling.
