(10,721 posts)And, yet, too many bought into the inherently racist and disproven 2016 "white working class/economic anxiety" narrative. As I've written about at length: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11442020
And, yet, too many have bought into the "far left" vs. moderate narrative that causes division and alienation. As if some Democrats are progressive and others are regressive. As if there's some great divide over positions on issues. There isn't. The conflict that exists has been misdiagnosed, as I stated here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11436338
And, yet, I'm cautiously optimistic that we can eventually eradicate the Republican Party by greatly diminishing racism, sexism and their impact on society.
