To believe that this election echoes the Jim Crow era is to believe the DNC & MSNBC crowd’s argument that Harris lost the election because of the basket of deplorables’ racism and misogyny. Not to say that those are not factors at all, because racism & misogyny definitely are still a thing; they always have been. But this argument conveniently distracts from the Democratic party’s own causes for their failures.

The Democrats fail because they’ve embraced grinding neoliberalism for an entire generation, because they abandoned the working class long ago. The DNC crushed Sanders—twice—because even a little social safety net, as a treat, is a bridge too far for them.
