you have to be a delusional moron to believe racism is the primary factor that won trump the election

the analysis in the story completely ignores that median americans are hosed economically with huge debt and future prospects are bleak. the median american makes $30k a year and the labor force participation rate is historically low. tens of millions STILL don't have any healthcare coverage at all. millenials are already turning out to be doing worse than their parents economically. the opioid epidemic is symptomatic of desperation. of course people in desperate situations are gonna turn to demagogues that scapegoat minority populations and anti-status quo candidates who claim they will reverse offshoring jobs.

2. I'm stumped at how Hillary's most devout supporters claim she's the toughest human being on Earth then treat her like she's fragile glass.
3. If you write a book blaming Bernie & Obama & Joe Biden for your loss to Trump, stop telling people who respond "now's not the time."
4. Also, Hillary's revisionist reduction of Bernie's biggest supporters as obnoxious white men erases the reality of who they really are.
5. I'm a part of 9-10 private "Bernie Bro" chat groups. They're made up almost exclusively of women. His most essential supporters are women.
6. Smart Democrats will find genuine partnerships not just with Bernie, but with progressives on the issues we value the most.
7. New polls have Hillary's approval ratings at 30% - her lowest approval rating ever. 4 points lower than Trump. It will get worse.
8. I am not at all saying "Be quiet Hillary." That is indeed sexist & condescending. I just strongly disagree with her argument on her loss.
9. Thankfully - Senators Warren & Harris are charting a path forward for Democrats alongside Bernie and progressives.

It was made all the worse by her standard inability/refusal to own the moment, either by offering a genuine apology for writing off that demographic, or by steadfastly defending that a disturbing proportion of Trump's base really are part of the curbstomp set.

She did back off of it though? Not all the way but pretty good for Hillary.

WJ is right that it absolutely was the most honest and truthful she was in the entire campaign, which makes her twisting around and trying to evade it extra funny.

yes but if we all agree it's just racism then the democrats can remain a cool social club for capital holders to play at wokeness while changing absolutely nothing

Did you forget the part where he won the votes of all the racists in America?

Even the racists who had given up on the Republicans not being overtly racist enough came back to vote for Racist Moses, to lead them to more racism.


You are underestimating how much a black president broke half of America's brains.

america is racist as gently caress though

economic shittiness makes racism worse

racism consistently manifests itself against black people through economic injustices

if racism didnt exist they wouldnt have the social context needed to maintain a huge black prison population that american capitalism enslaves

trying to decouple them by saying that one is more important than the other is monumentally dumb

Somehow bad dems and their rich donor class forget that democracy is life insurance for the rich.

Just throw them a small bone so the Neo French revolution doesn't happen but I think that capital owners feel invincible right now like Boris from Goldeneye.

The question though becomes, isn't that what TNC just did in his article? I don't think overtly, but playing dense with Bernie's quotes about us needing true progressives and not just tokens doesn't really help him.

racism extremely obviously was the primary reason trump won the election, and the reason that almost everything in american history that happened has happened. there's just many more smaller and easier to fix things about clinton's campaign that tipped three states in the midwest from blue to red

this is all true

it's also true that racism is not the primary reason trump won. if the american economic situation for workers was fantastic instead of horrible desperation, trump would not have stood any chance at all of winning. trump's demagoguery would have been a huge negative. there is a reason counties that were solidly obama flipped to solid trump, and it's not because the voters suddenly all got turboracist after voting obama.
