Not just ragging on Team Bernie here, but there is an issue with the word "majoritarian" here, whether it comes from left, right, center, up, down, above, beneath, front, back, or to the side.https://twitter.com/jjz1600/status/933142054389125121 …
You know... did she miss that maybe Barack Obama's campaign was free to center economics in the words, because it already centered race in the sheer fact that he was THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT? Like... what?

like I'm sorry to go back and try to make Barack Obama's campaign a class-not-race campaign is... wrong. Like DUH he talked about class to the white working class. He didn't HAVE to TALK about race to us because he was the first black major party nominee/president!

and btw: we kinda got fucked by the fact that he DIDN'T talk about race, because all of his policies were universalist and black folks will never be liberated solely by universalist policies, because we have specific, not-universal problems!
