Good article. The weirdest thing about all the controversy over this is that if people were
actually worried about "abandoning minorities in favor of solely class issues", then history shows they should be worried about the centrist, "
Third Way", "incrementalist", "pragmatic",
triangulating Clintonian wing who have effectively been in charge of the party for 30 years, far more than those who are further left of the existing Democratic Party.
Yet Clinton and the DNC somehow became this grand intersectional champion of minority progress, overwhelmingly loved by minorities everywhere, while Sanders was the candidate of "white privilege" and bros.
Even though
actual numbers required a far more
complex analysis than "minorities love Clinton, minorities hate Sanders,
women love Clinton, women hate Sanders" that a lot of people run with. I mean, from a cold and raw political strategy standpoint, it was a hugely successful strategy for the Clinton campaign over the past year. Shame to see people still fall for it though.
