Reluctantly for Warren, if not a protest vote for some Dixiecrat
SG is a perfect example of what old Southern Democrats were ACTUALLY like (without the poor civil rights stances, OBVIOUSLY): not a DINO, not some "conservative," and often times even more liberal than his Northern counterparts on class issues. I'm not talking about people like Zel Miller who kept their heads above water in a rapidly conservative-ifying South, but rather the Southern Democrats who backed FDR and fought for "pork" spending for their states, largely to help the poor, who are now the victims of comically bad historical revisionism that marks them as right-wingers because "muh civil rights."
It appears that Northern liberal revisionists will have you believe that if you aren't on the frontlines of the civil rights debate, then you are a violent racist. I cannot even begin to tell you how many programs, schools and roads would not be in place in the South without "Dixiecrat" politicians, all of whom get painted with the broad brush of "segregationist". A lot of the Southern Democrats political history is very sad and shameful, but it is ridiculous to throw the baby out with the bath water and not recognize the left-wing accomplishments made by some of them.
