Her response: "I find it really shameful that there’s a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip,” she said in the informal, selfie-style video where she paced along a road. “No marriage is perfect, and I don’t want a perfect marriage, I want my marriage.”

In this metaphor the white liberal is someone who supports progressive values in theory, but when it comes time to make the change they get cold feet in favor of the status quo.

You don’t have to be white to be a white liberal. You just have to keep using disingenuous cable news talking points.

Again.... This is my fear about Platner. I would love to be wrong about it. I just don't see any evidence in his background that assuages my fears.

just have to keep using disingenuous cable news talking points.

What cable news is talking about his class history and his voluntary service to maintain the hegemony?
