The article answers this.
"I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie."
Given the importance of the event, there is a socially constructed "dress code". The privilege comes from Bernie being able to break this code without fear of negative repercussions.
- BitwiseFool 6y agoAll I see is winter-wear. And, looking at the photograph again, I just can't see anyone getting in trouble for wearing the exact same outfit. Edit: Did any non-privileged persons get called out for wearing similar attire at the inauguration? Or is this a hypothetical situation where Bernie gets a pass and someone else wouldn't?
