1. Stop spreading the myth that the liberal platform rejected economic justice this year..

this is likely another one of your Clinton drive-bys but for the benefit of all who maybe reading: All Clinton talked about was working class people.

2. "poor minorities don't want class issues on the agenda"

Fact is, a lot of low information left leaning voters substituted buzzwords for actual political thought "corporatist!" "Third Way!" etc and stayed home or refused to vote for the most electable left option.

She would have taken the very sensible position that while bank reform is a good and necessary thing, it alone will not end racism or sexism.

that's literally WHAT SHE SAID wtf

3. sanctimonious pablum

While Clinton and her supporters represent a centrist neoliberal wing

This kind of name-calling and finger-pointing does exactly nothing to help defeat Republicans. It's self-serving comfort food.

The primary is history. Neither Clinton nor Sanders is the future of the party.

7. "Clintons statements were nowhere near as nuanced as Sanders."

That's hilarious. People have been saying for months that Clinton is *too* nuanced and now she's not nuanced enough?

Speaking in one-size-fit-all terms, by the way, isn't nuance.

8. 'Will the Democratic Party embrace economic justice

and add class based critiques to the platform, or will it cede this ground rhetorically to the right's racist version of populism.'

9. Didnt Sanders parade Cornel West around? He is the father of modern identity politics

With his "critical race" theory. Wasn't it a Sanders person who just said that "we don't need white people leading the Democratic Party?"

Plus, Hillary doubling down on ID politics as hard as she did was only bc Sanders made her have to "prove" she wasn't conservative or even pragmoderate (god forbid)

10. None of it is supposed to make sense..

Motivated reasoning causes people to shift goalposts when it suits them..

And to see it among so called liberals, in a year where we had a strong platform, is disheartening.
