DNC chairman aims for diversity with delegate nominations

214. I'm not telling you to hush up.

Instead, I'd simply suggest THIS course of action:

1)Don't force people to renounce Bernie to prove they are liberal(his supporters are as strong personally on social justice issues as you are-none of them are saying that racism doesn't matter). It doesn't help you to assume that his supporters share the shortcomings you see in him or are cool with those shortcomings;

2)While giving those supporters the benefit of the doubt, call on them to push him in the direction you seek(a direction I join you in seeking)

3)Start looking for a candidate who is as strong on social justice issues as you and I want, and also strong on economic justice issues. You were persuaded in '16 that there had to be a choice between those things-they are distinct justice struggles, but they are relate, they do intersect, and the path forward is to find an intersectional candidate. There was no intersectional candidate in '16. There was one candidate perceived as privileging economic justice and believing that social justice was a secondary concern-though it's not clear that that is what that candidate actually felt; there was another candidate who was perceived as centering social justice while treating economic justice as a secondary concern;
