Sunday Reflection

"The country has one genuinely multi-racial political party, which is by nature an anti-racist party. It has another that is rooted in white identity politics. That no more means there are no racists or people with racist pasts in the Democratic party than it means every Republican is a racist. But the basic political configuration and dichotomy of US politics today is clear. Northam just isn’t in a position to lead a state still shaped by the history of the Confederacy, not as the candidate of Democratic voters." -- Josh Marshall on the basic identity of the country's two political parties, and the what it means for Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam.  Remember that when you see and hear right- wing Republican white nationalists trying to dunk on Democrats for Northam's transgressions.
