    Social governance in the US is mostly window dressing. The class oppression is the same, dems just don’t pretend poor whites are a higher class than other minorities. To the dem or republican leadership your gender, sex, nor race really matter. As long as you’re not trying to remove the class divide then you’re good enough. Even the most racist republican would happily go along with a black president as long as said president didn’t threaten the economic order. Its why Obama was allowed to do as much as he did.

      there is some truth here, but this is also effectively a strawman argument.

      There is really poor social governance in america, both under republicans and democrats, because nobody knows how to construct it properly. Whether this is a conceited class war effort from the left, idk.
