"But DNC members voting for Martin over Wikler because they thought he would protect the interests of state Democratic parties against the predations or instability that private capitalists might bring to the Democratic tech stack ***can be forgiven for not understanding*** how things actually work or who has privatized what."

I am not sure if that "forgiven for not understanding" bit was tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think people in positions of power should be forgiven for not understanding ANYTHING. And it seems abundantly clear that the level of people's understanding on various interrelated topics related to the "poly-crisis" borders on zero.

Your “In some other universe…” paragraph should be required reading.

Though it made me wonder why I was bothering my brain with the breakdown of the DNC race that followed, lol.

Of course, we have to understand that, too. Thanks for continuing to split the difference.
