It's clear a lot of the "unelectable" label is about her color. And that's gross. And makes a lot of progressives uncomfortable, because we don't wish it so. But she's running statewide in Texas. Do we ignore the reality of entrenched racism there? Racism isn't Voldemort. You don't need to say its name for it to be there.
