      Right. So it was a 50 year long struggle led by the working class and groups like the Wobblies and your solution is to vote harder?

      To what extent can we credit colonial nations like Portugal and the UK and the Netherlands for extending this right exclusively to white people with political capital?

      Is it really a “pass” if the comfort of the homeland was predicated on slavery and/or empire elsewhere?
