      One of the problems with Chait's analysis in the last few years is he hasn't noticed that the most of the PC wokeness inside the Democratic Party tends to come from centrists (notably Clinton's campaign) and not the socialist left.

      That's fair. I still feel like most of the woke arguments I hear from Democrats are from anti-Bernie neo-liberals and centrists. But that could just be people using whatever weapon is at hand.

          Yeah they don't hold themselves to the same standards. Look at all the "woke" people complaining that Bernie doesn't support reparations while at the same time neither do any of the other candidates (except rhetorically calling universal progs 'reparations' when black get them)

          But the other thing is that wokeness isn't independent of economic leftism, since most social justice issues have at their core an economic component. Some of the woke criticism of Bernie is from people who wanted to change his positions on things like immigration

          Less discussion of Bernie's "wokeness" and more discussion of his political ineptness would benefit the left and the country greatly.

          It’s more generational. The olds are uncomfortable with social change.

          Might be the cohort of those to whom you’re listening. I also don’t know how valuable it is to parse groups by “anti-Bernie” and “centrist” in a field this open and progressive.

          There's a wokeness vs. performative wokeness distinction to be made somewhere here, but I feel like "wokeness" has become a slightly ironic buzzword to imply the most performative aspects. IRL it's not terribly "woke" to knock yourself out with factional electoral politics.

          It could also be, stay with me on this, that Bernie's lack of wokeness *genuinely* concerns a lot of people who are *genuinely* concerned about various issues of social justice

          Centrists identifying themselves as the ‘woke’ is like Republicans calling themselves the party of Lincoln. Quite a circle jerk y’all got going on here.

          Why do you immediately assume people are being dishonest and not, like, actually stating what they believe?
