re: #249 Decatur Deb

One pol’s “dismiss” is another pol’s “perspective”. He grew up on the Marxist interpretation of race exploitation. When it comes to the people who are getting screwed working hard-assed jobs for low pay, the WC ain’t particularly W.

I started off thinking it was the whole classic Marxist thing, but the closer I look at him (doing the minimum possible in the Civil Rights movement, moving to lily white New England from diverse NYC, dismissal of anything to do with the concerns of people of color or women (worst case - a woman of color) & etc ) and I have slowly come to the conclusion that on issues of race and women’s rights there is effectively no difference between Bernie and Trump.

I am encouraged by the rise of AOC because she understands the hard work needed and the need to keep on working. Her policy prescriptions are within the realm of possible if the Democratic party gains the senate as well and I can see her doing everything she can to make that happen.
