<< If there is an equally well regarded academic

And this is where it gets fun. Who is doing the regarding? MSNBC? Me? You?

<< But none of us should feel obliged to conjure that lecture if no such academic exists.

In US alone, we should be able to locate at least one among thousands ( According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 10,220 sociology professors in colleges, universities, and professional schools, and 2,630 in junior colleges. - just google search )?

I suppose we could limit it to what who gets published, shown on TV and so on, but then we would go back to the 'regarding' question, but, at its core, this is US, where people publish all sorts of idiocy all the time.. I somehow doubt it would require much conjuring.

Not to search very far, Buhle has something to say on the subject ( Marxism in the United States: A history of the American left[1] ), but to your point.. not on Kamala specifically.

I am willing to give you a 'you got a point here.'
