The fact remains that nobody mentions that Kamala is the daughter of high level and successful academics, far from the middle class she asserts. As a graduate of Berkeley with graduate degrees myself I know what it means. Her parents were successful upper class academics and she spent her high school in Canada while her mother worked for McGill university and her father was a tenured economics professor at Stanford. That is not something to be ashamed of, but privilege comes in many forms. I have come a long way when I hoped for structural change with Obama, but I also recognize the practical danger of Trump. How can a so called civilized nation have this man, convicted and guilty of treason be running for president and leading such a tight race? That is part of the American dialectic just like supporting fascism in Israel and claim to defend against it with Trump at the DNC.
