Think of how much time Democrats have had to set protections in place for minorities. There's no one in politics that is both on our side and capable of helping us if we aren't wealthy straight white Christian men.

The wildest thing to me is realizing that while many of these people are entirely just in the pocket of the donor class. A lot of them genuinely believe that they can just tinker around the edges and things will just magically get better over time. And that this fact makes it okay for them to enrich themselves because all they need to be is a faithful steward of the institutions because inevitably the moral arc of history bends toward Justice.
