when he has railed many times against "identity politics".. at least stick to your principles.. seems he wants it both ways.

It should be noted that Sanders movement is identity politics also, just from the white side.

And there's nothing I've seen sofar (on social media, IRL, etc) that seems to be different in tone from his most vocal supporters, who are often vicious in their critique of Dems, and appear to be going after Kamala (who is the early favorite in this field) in a similar way they went after Hillary.

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