I’ve voted Democrat a few times in federal elections, and I often vote Democrat in state elections, but it genuinely frightens me that critical theorists are eventually going to have their hands on the real levers of power across the country. Even if they’re unelectable, they will still fill the cabinets and staff of even moderate Democrats. As a straight white guy it’s really hard to square that even when I support a lot of Dem positions like universal healthcare, strong antitrust policies, and union protections
