Jonathan Chait wrote over 6,000 words complaining that progressives (like me) make things too hard for Biden while Columbusing black moderates and begging Manchin to give them what they want.
And yet he somehow matters to NEVER MENTION voting rights.
And yet he somehow matters to NEVER MENTION voting rights.
But, this is what these people do. They want to marginalize the calls for justice and fairness, paint reform as some progressive hobgoblin, but claim they're tacking towards a (non-existent) center where Black people don't get to vote but are QUIET and happy about it.
The full list of my big, scary, UNCOMPROMISING position are:
* A world where cops CANNOT shoot my Black children and get away with it
* AT LEAST 1965 LEVELS OF VOTING RIGHTS
* NO BEATINGS or other inhumane treatment of immigrants
* AT LEAST 1973 LEVELS OF ABORTION RIGHTS
* A world where cops CANNOT shoot my Black children and get away with it
* AT LEAST 1965 LEVELS OF VOTING RIGHTS
* NO BEATINGS or other inhumane treatment of immigrants
* AT LEAST 1973 LEVELS OF ABORTION RIGHTS
Again, in over 6,000 words, Chait addresses none of them. People like him, people who AREN'T under constant threat of these things being taken away from them, NEVER DO.
They're willing to "compromise" because they things they're willing to trade never affect them.

Whatever, if you think people like me, and my desire to have the rights that are allegedly guaranteed to me in the Constitution are the problem, and NOT the people who want to take those rights away from me, you'll never get it.
