interesting that Bernie even today is still encouraging his troops to sublimate to Biden, including thanking them for doing so:

I want to thank progressive grassroots organizations for their extraordinary efforts in helping to make Biden's victory possible. Together, you built widespread support for Biden among young people, people of color and the working class. Congratulations. Let's keep going forward.

Right wing media noticed lefties attacking Andrew Yang on this and are playing it up, like this:

ok here we go but I think I'll pass on Christoph's suggestion and leave it packed:

“White supremacy is when an Asian guy suggests a left-leaning party do better in helping the working class” - a white woman.

Quite the bit of support here for my contention that our problems are far more about class than race:

Of course I guess one could argue that a regional accent is used to profile there like skin color elsewhere.

P.S. What's new? Actually, it's the elite woke kids dissing them and telling them what to think and how to talk properly and to genuflect to the right people., Instead of the society swells that used to do that.

Andrew Yang says Democrats need to improve their appeal to the working class: "In there minds the Democratic party unfortunately has taken on this role of the coastal urban elites who are more concerned about policing various cultural issues than improving their way of life." pic.twitter.com/UljmEH0sEn
