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 remember Chapo doing a reading series on some profile of Brooks. In it, he had this big revelation (at like age 55), that other people are also individuals like him and also have their lives and thoughts. Something basic like that. You can see why it was easy for him to support the Iraq war, because he had the most basic humanist realization at 55, whereas most people have it at like 12.
