As explained above, here is the question for next week:
B.J. in Arlington, MA, asks: A number of speakers at the DNC talked about how "America is the only country in which my story is even possible": starting in a family of modest means, as a disfavored minority or gender, rising far through hard work, supportive family, and community, etc.
Is it actually true that America is the only place where this is possible, or even that it is substantially more possible in America than anywhere else? The assertion seems incredibly jingoistic and really hard to believe.
