Headline is misleading. Setting this up as a dilemma is what loses elections. That said, the story is scarier. People are sleepwalking.https://twitter.com/nytpolitics/status/799228166602559488 …

Do folks talk to millennials of any color about jobs and debts? How the heck did economic issues become "white" working class only?

Shaky assumption here is that no portion of the "white" working class would vote for economic justice if it were paired with anti-racism.

Look, pre-election explainers with glib headlines incorrectly using regression to claim economic issues and race were separate were wrong.

Now, there is the post-election pieces setting up false dilemmas. To err is human. But don't listen to people who got *everything* wrong.

There's much racism in this country. Two-thirds of people don't have college degrees. Hold two thoughts in your head—or lose every election.

Tell you what won't work: dropping anti-racism, to pander. If someone's really after white-identity only, they'll pick the real thing.

But the idea that no people will ever vote for their perceived economic interest because they aren't there on culture/identity? Nonsense.

My own point would be some people voted for Obama despite far from being completely enlightened anti-racists+

And that class/economic issues are not limited to "white" working class as people have been portraying.

Yes. This is why the dichotomy is tempting though. No other working class group voted that way. Or did they?
