"She called that campaign a “victory, not of an individual, but of…people who refused to believe that it was impossible to elect a person, a Black person, who identified with the Black radical tradition.”
There was a hush in the room, as if in mourning of the death of brain cells."
Yea she's been better on certain things than a lot of folks from back then. I feel like she's so cool that her downsides feel a bit bigger in proportion
Also I feel like no one mentioned this to me but apparently she's a lesbian which is also neat. Apparently she came out in 2020 / or became more known she was a lesbian in 2020?
I could've told you that when her circle tried to take over CPUSA during the 1991 congress then stormed out to form a suckdem political action committee
There was a bit in his book where he talks about meeting owning class people and the effects that regularly sharing space with them had on him. Something to the effect of, “I learned to censor myself on topics where I knew they’d never agree.” That alone is a great picture of deradicalization happens.
All our heroes are flawed:

Let's be honest. A lot of well-meaning comrades fell for Obama early on. The dude's PR campaign was crazy strong.
Not perfect but she has been cool as hell on trans stuff

didn't he literally attend a radical Black church? which he had to tone down and disown to even have a shot at becoming pres?
Obama is objectively the most radical president in US history. The lesson to take from this is that voting can never solve anything
