Like, most people who make over $15/he wouldn't add an extra hour to their shopping to save $15, it becomes a poor use of time

If your normal grocery bill was $50, we are talking about $15 in savings. And then the question becomes, how much extra time are you willing to spend to save $15. A large family where weekly groceries are way more than $50 and sure, it makes sense. Single people and couples? Less so

There's a pretty big gulf between color blindness giving cover to racists and designing programs around universality

Were this fully true, everyone would simply go out to the suburbs to shop at Walmart every time they needed groceries rather than shopping in town You also need to factor time and gas as costs, the further a store is from you the cheaper it needs to be to justify it

There's a sliding scale to this how much cheaper relative to how much time spent getting there. Would you spend an extra hour shopping to save $20? Some people would, most people wouldn't

Obviously not every issue can be pitched in a race neutral way (the voting rights act for instance), but many can. Anti discrimination laws or any law regarding economic equity or wellbeing

That last bit is disingenuous. Sanders is not just talking about white working class voters, and his policies would be good all Americans regardless of race Identity politics is losing elections, pitching policies in a race neutral way is probably better politics for getting them to pass

In '98, my fellow loggers and I blocked the Canadian border to fight back against billionaire landowners trying to depress our wages. Susan Collins was my Senator back then. She sided with the big landowners over us. This fall, working people will once again fight back - and send Collins packing.

Your logic has blindspots. That you can't apply it to other situations or people shows it doesn't really hold up.

Cared enough to respond

64% of Vermont voted for Harris. No other state was that high. MA was second at 61%

Not white voters in cities, not white voters with college degrees, not white voters in all states...

Not urban white voters. Not white voters in all states. Not college educated white voters Sometimes race is not the most helpful way to slice voter data and sometimes it isn't

I think a film that portrays a man behind deeply traumatized by the wrongs he has contributed to, cautioning the audience against similar, is good, actually.

Everyone dropped their platner support the moment the rape allegations came out. Any talk of platner support refers to support from before that, since the support after that is entirely non-existent Who's unable to call a genocide a genocide? Most Democrats these days

It was unforgivable to people on bluesky, clearly

So then by your own logic, Harris's blind spot on trans rights and blind spots on class related issues would make her a bigot, correct? I want to make sure I have the definition properly sorted out

Sanders support of platner was entirely rooted in platner having a progressive platform and polling data suggesting that voters didn't care about the tattoo (which they didn't) I think people who are unable to call a genocide a genocide have no moral authority on calling this sort of thing out

Often times in a conversation, people will use a comparable example to reinforce their point.
