(68,747 posts)identity politics disqualify him for a 20 nomination in my opinion. And of course his endorsement of several candidates who were not good on abortion rights doesn't help with women voters... He endorsed for example Mello who sponsored and voted for legislation that curtailed abortion rights in Nebraska and Perriello who damaged the ACA in terms of abortion rights when he was in the House. He eventually voted for the ACA-but still I find that troubling. Sen. Sanders seems to think this from what I can tell that economic justice will guarantee social justice, but it doesn't. We need both. I do not find social justice a 'distraction'. I know you think that those who are not with Sen. Sanders are haters but that is not the case. There are solid reasons to oppose his candidacy in a primary...not of course in a general. I will vote for whoever wins the Democratic Primary in the general.
