The elitism of McWhorter is oozing in this episode. The great unwashed, from the left and the right, cannot be trusted to evaluate these candidates, especially because, from an oratorical perspective, it will not be a contest. This attitude perfectly represents why Biden will lose the election in a landslide - or should I say it will be a “bloodbath”? The masses, even some traditional democrats, will see the obvious, and vote (or stay home) accordingly.
We need to hear them revisit this now! Somehow reality managed to bust into the bubble John was inhabiting. And so far it's been a fascinating and messy partial reckoning. 4 months later, after the disastrous happenings of the last week surrounding this debate, I really would like to see whether John feels any need to revisit his elitism. It seems so far that the first step in this reckoning has been a stand by some amongst democrats and sympathizers to at least acknowledge reality. I hope that those who purport to be academic, thinking people would take a step further toward introspection of whether maybe...just maybe... they were biased in ways they couldn't recognize. That their blinders led them down the wrong path, and their intelligence and credentials didnt save them. And that their confidence in their own high intelligence and elitism may actually hinder a pursuit of truth and what is good.
