If one was to take Albright’s verbose series of tweets at face value, they might consider it an attack on Sanders, a figure whose significant media presence has built up some clout among young Democratic voters. However, it is important to see Albright’s rambling tweetstorm as what it is: an attempt to discredit the left through their association with Sanders.

Albright rarely attacks the actual principles of the far-left, except to criticize their feasibility; in fact, she repeatedly insists that the Sanders’ campaign was a sort of cult of personality, rather than a movement of policies and ideals. Her only substantial comments on policy are to rightly note the importance of voter suppression in the outcome of the 2016 national election (a notion which most leftists would hardly dispute). She does this in an effort to argue that Bernie and the leftists are making a flawed and perhaps racist “choice” in deciding to ignore African-American voters and instead make appeals to the dreaded “white working class.” Of course, the left has made no such choice — racist voter suppression has been vehemently opposed by even the snarkiest of Twitter socialists. But Albright cares little for this distinction, as her goal is to discredit the left, and she adamantly insists that Sanders, and by proxy the socialist movement, have chosen the working class over loyal African-American Democrats, while in reality, rational leftists have been eager to highlight the fact that African-Americans constitute a significant portion of the diverse working class that they wish to aid.
