The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

    They’re easy to understand: they are privileged and insulated enough from potential Republican fuckery that if Democrats lose elections, they are mostly going to be ok. They’re mostly middle class or higher with secure employment or other economic support (parents, spouse), straight (or closeted), their religious status isn’t contentious, mostly they’re male.

    The other group I’d expect would be extremely low information voters who believe all politicians are the same and it’s a Coke or Pepsi kind of thing. That’s not going to be super common with anyone identifying as “progressive” due to the very politicized nature of that term, though.

          I just have a perspective beyond myself, rather than your liberal myopia.

          Socialism or barbarism. Either the American empire is stopped or civilization will come to an end, either by climate change or world war. The point of Cornell West’s campaign isn’t to take the presidency, Sanders already proved that is impossible (never forget what they did to the Iowa caucus). It would be amazing if he won, but the real goal of my support is to build support for socialism more broadly within America so we can stop this empire from killing everyone everywhere forever.
