My latest for @thenation.com: Will Black Americans Vote for a Socialist—Zohran Mamdani? “To put it plainly, the myth that Black Americans can only support establishment Democrats has conditioned us to take our suffering—which is a result of capitalism—for granted.” www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Compassion and criticism are not mutually exclusive. Democrats can have compassion for Biden AND question how his healthcare policies impacted people suffering from cancer without his resources. After all, Democrats were quick to point out “white privilege” in every aspect of American life.

Anthony Conwright continues to be one of my favorite authors. I know our current administration won’t take action on this, but I hope this continues to be a central issue for progressive leaders as they are elected.
