I’ve experienced his hypocrisy personally as well. I was a campaign staffer in 2016. We all remember his mantra, red-faced with that damn wagging finger, “Health care is a human right!!”
On September 28 of that year, I received a notice from campaign HQ in Burlington that my health insurance would end on September 30. No suggestion or offer of assistance to find new coverage in 48 hours.
I called Burlington to ask why we didn’t get notice weeks ago. His HQ campaign staffers were in the same boat. Their sense of shock and betrayal was clear in their voices. They knew him!
I will never stop being pissed, especially for them.
Bravo! So nicely compiled and stated. This description of the racism that enshrouds white Dem politicians gives a name and defines some characteristics for what I previously thought of as general insincerity.

A plus plus plus. Thank you for this. I’m developing more psychological critique of Trumpism and white voters. Here https://open.substack.com/pub/sunmoonlight/p/never-give-up?r=97m4w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

All of them are now engaged in "pot calling the kettle black" behavior. I enjoy the shit-show.
