Part of it, in fairness, was that his approach to inequality is very old school left and looks at problems of /class/ as being paramount. That's not to say he doesn't see problems of race as unimportant, it's just that his view of how to solve problems starts with solving class problems.

I'm curious which thinkers and activists of the old school left you associate with this view.

Edited to add: maybe a question for a different thread.

Repealing the Hyde amendment, pushing through the ERA, and getting the equal pay law passed (that I'm forgetting the name of).

Do you think we'd actually get the ERA?

If we don't, why can't we use the 14th Amendment to establish the same precedent? I realize the symbolic importance and the importance of enshrining its permanence, but in the short-term we could have the stop gap of the 14th, no?

How could a Sanders candidacy have been better than a Clinton one, if Sanders is so unfavorable with minorities?

That's only because the bernouts didn't neg minorities quite hard enough. A little more and Bernie would totally win this.

Until he started storming out of interviews. Again. Or some of those stories about his wife destroying a school got any real scrutiny, especially the part about a useless junior senator from Vermont supposedly pressuring banks to make loans to that school. Or as soon as Jeff Weaver opened his mouth, etc.

  • Nevada
  • North Carolina
  • South Carolina
  • Missouri
  • Louisiana
  • Oklahoma
  • Utah
  • Arizona
  • Arkansas
  • Alabama
  • Mississippi
  • Georgia

Also several states DID ratify and rescind, it was challenged in court but ultimately left unsettled because the ratification deadline was passed and it was considered moot.

Nah, it wasn't that. A lot of the rebuttals for "Eh, Sanders didn't really have the minority outreach that Clinton had" were some variant of "BUT KILLER MIKE ENDORSED SANDERS!!!!" Which turns the argument into a reductive binary one.

E: I'm bad at words; the point I wanted to make (but didn't since words r hard) is that it wasn't Bernie doing the tokenization, but rather fans of Bernie.
