I agree these things cannot be stopped from progressing... but I'd argue that pushing identity politics (an inherently right-wing model about individual groups achieving more power) is not a viable way to do this. I think it's undermining progress overall.

I believe that making society more equitable will cause a natural fall in prejudice. Denmark is an interesting test case and is one of the least feminist places in the world. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/may/10/and-the-least-feminist-nation-in-the-world-is-denmark

I think you're right and Bernie would've been a better choice. America would've been a very different place after 4-years of equitable socialism but his branch of progression has been superseded by a greater emphasis on identity politics that much of the US demos rejects outright becuase of its extreme positions and problematic views around race.

Thanks for your comment and continuing the conversation :o)
