Why hold just Bernie Sanders to that standard?

That's my question

I'm not entirely interested in the tax returns as much as I am interested in his policy proposals which are much more attractive and more on the issues.

Just to let you know, there are several reasons why I won't be voting for Kamala Harris, and none of them has anything to do with her issues at hand, it's just the way she is handling her campaign. Incorrectly. Her own father has to rebuke her for mischaracterization of his Jamaican heritage and identity politics.

Identity politics does not belong in an American democracy, ever.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
