Notice all the articles and segments and speeches about “wokeness,” “CRT,” about how marginalized people hurt electoral chances.
The political, pundit, and media class only care about the economy and their own power and wealth. Everyone and everything else is dispensable.

The people who direct the discourse in America give themselves away by torpedoing any discussion about reform or progress or equality by positioning them as impediments to profit. This has always been the case. See it and you can’t unsee it.
The underlying message to these articles is that, sure, the GOP is a dangerous white supremacist movement, but Democrats need to appeal to the white supremacy and actively silence any voices calling for real, tangible reform that would make lives better.
It’s not an either/or choice. You can reach people by actually reforming the economy and system AND combat white supremacy. The two go hand-in-hand when it comes to material conditions. White supremacy is a necessary component of continuing extreme exploitation.
