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 …
cause class-based policies have definitely motivated black folks more than a) identity or b) black-focused issues like criminal justice reform. It was definitely Hillary's lack of an economic message not her being a white lady with a history of racism that cost her blk votes. OK.

like... this ignores the actual literal votes of black and brown people in favor of a theory that class is the thing that unites everybody, a theory that AFAIK has never panned out in the form of antiracist policies!

Good policies, from left and center? Yes. Antiracist policies...? ehhhhhhh... was it class solidarity that gave us the CRA, the VRA, the 13th-15th Amendments, the '68 housing discrimination act? Or was it like... black folks organizing black folks regardless of class?
