"I can't move the cat is in my lap and comfortable" versus "I need to pee every five minutes and I think Babóg is on my bladder."
One of the things that's been really gnawing at me on the issue of White leftists who aren't anti-racist is that racism is itself a pillar of capitalism, it relies on racial hierarchies and exploitation to function. You can't be anti-capitalist, at least not fully, without being anti-racist. 1/
I'm not a Democrat, but they need to step up the policies they say they believe in -- welfare, social housing, rent control, affordable childcare, education etc. If not, some percentage of increasingly desperate people are going to gravitate towards easy scapegoats. The next Trump will still win.
If the Dems want to avoid Trumpism, they can't just hope someone comes along with better aim. There are plenty of people just as harmful waiting in the wings to take his place. Vance is a good reminder of that.
His real name is Manchego, but one of his many nicknames is Sweet Potato
