Biden and the "Woke" Democratic Base

With Trump traveling to Greenville, NC to rally the hayseeds with hate, and the vote to impeach Trump for that hatred garnering 95 votes in the U.S. House of Representatives, I thought it would be interesting to read what the Black Agenda Report has to say this morning.

Ajamu Baraka's "The 'Squad' Will Need to Realize that You Can’t Defeat White Supremacy with White Supremacy" is worth checking out:

The “squad” condemns Trump for his white nationalism, not understanding that as a white supremacist settler-colonial state, white nationalism is “American” nationalism. Until there is break with that history and reality, and with Biden, who like Trump either understands that reality better or is more honest than the squad.

Biden as a neoliberal white supremacist imperialist was always clear where he stood. His voting record and policy support for war on Iraq; the dismembering of Syria; the U.S./ NATO attack on Libya that turned the most prosperous nation on the African continent into a real “shithole country;” and support for Trump’s campaign to buttress the white minority oligarchy in Venezuela by implementing a regime change program was not much different than that from Trump. Most of the Democratic Party supported these policies.

The Democratic Party is trapped between a Indivisible, Women's March "woke" base that wants to turn the page on 40-plus years of neoliberalism/neoconservatism and an official party apparatus that is foundationally linked to the policies of neoliberalism and neoconservatism.

Biden as the nominee of a "woke" base doesn't make any sense.
