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 …

like... the fact that some socialist pols, including the most famous one, have an incorrect understanding of race and other "social" issues does not mean that All Socialists Are Bad and All Centrists Are Good.

as TNC said very clearly in that Atlantic article: this is a white problem, not a center vs left problem. Barack Obama, not being white, is predictably less afflicted by it! Mark Penn and Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, predictably, are!

Serious q: have you ever heard black media shit on Keith Ellison the way they do on Bernie Sanders? I haven't researched it. But I feel like they don't. So perhaps... we are complaining about racism, not socialism.

answer, bc I googled it: the Root let one VERY OBVIOUS establishment shill write an anti-Ellison article during the chair race. But every other article about Ellison is dripping in praise. So...

idk maybe the way for socialists to win over black voters is to be black and/or talk very loudly about how much racism sucks... and maybe the key is to find a way to reach white voters ANYWAY.

ANYWAY I actually wrote this bc I was lowkey mad about an article from a centrist ex-obama appointee about that amounted to "sell out the gays and the feminists bc white evangelicals can't vote for pro-choice candidates."

and to me that stands on the exact same moral and strategic plane as "stop making everything about race so we can win some white votes" or the euphemism version of "we're alienating the white working class by telling them they're racist."
