It probably won't go beyond just "asking questions" and "what if" discussions, but even so. From 2015 to 2023, just talking about class in any way was considered 'racist and sexist' in lib circles. I guess they want to shift their rhetoric closer to the left for the 2024 elections, but not proposing any policies that this rhetoric would logically imply. Look, you stupid leftists, we are talking the same way that Bernie did in 2016/2020, you should support Joe 2024!
I just read it and there is already a good excuse to support building The Wall™ in his column: "Open immigration makes our service staff cheaper, but new, less-educated immigrants aren’t likely to put downward pressure on our wages."
The only wall I want to build is one to put the fascists up against
The same way that "the greenest building is one that's already been built", the best wall is one that already exists. Improvise, adapt, overcome.
