centrists went seamlessly from "breaking up the big banks is racist actually" in 2016 to "maybe Donald Trump is right about immigrants and trans people" from ~2021-25 to "criticizing Hakeem Jeffries is racist actually" now. woke's back baby

My big objection to "woke 1" critiques is that the sort of shallow, dishonest identity based attacks that are often associated with "woke" people are deployed far more frequently by centrist and right wing "anti-woke" voices. Here's centrist thinktanker Jordan Weissmann reveling in this garbage.

Will be interesting to see voting blocs within district when precinct breakdown and quality exit polls come out! When AOC (should be noted is a phenomenal rep!) won the primary she beat Crowley by maxing out the gentrified and higher income areas! Big Z had similar occurrences to beat Cuomo.

I wouldn't say it's back, more like it was a very effective tool against the left in 2016, and some centrists are praying against evidence that it still works just as it used to.

Wow, what a pile of horseshit. Who said any of those things? No Democrats, that's for sure. But it's apparently offensive to point out how racist "leftists" are.
