I feel like I followed his campaign closely and never once did I get that message.

As far as I'm aware the point was very much that you need to address the economy and education and overall quality of life hand in hand in order to address racism, classism, and social inequality in any kind of meaningful way.

Which is true. The problem is selling that to people because they want their specific needs taken care of first, and so on, and so on...
