@gwynnion MLK Jnr. was right about the "white moderate" in the context of structural racism, but his words have wider applicability: pick your progressive cause, and they always regard the reformers as a greater threat than the reactionaries. Every time. If the function of a system is what it does, then the USA's two-party system only exists to prop up the power of capital - and most "liberals" willingly perform the task of enabling the most right-wing forces rather than opposing them.
