Sanders: Dems must move beyond 'identity politics'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday that the Democratic Party must move beyond “identity politics” in order to connect with a larger share of the voting public.

"It is not good enough for somebody to say, 'I'm a woman, vote for me.' That is not good enough," Sanders told a crowd at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston, according to WBUR. "What we need is a woman who has the guts to stand up to Wall Street, to the insurance companies, to the drug companies, to the fossil fuel industries.”

Sanders, who come in second place to Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination this year, has repeatedly voiced his concerns with the party’s lack of support in middle America.

This was one of the most respectful things one could ever say about Hillary Clinton, our first ever democratic female candidate for President of the United States.

Elizabeth warrenhas neber run for president. boston bean Nov 2016 #94
She was looking like she would...and virtually every Bernie supporter was a Warren supporter first. Ken Burch Nov 2016 #96
No she always said she was not running for president. boston bean Nov 2016 #98
That wasn't always certain. Ken Burch Nov 2016 #100
What question? A hypothetical on what you think my answer might be?? boston bean Nov 2016 #109
My point is, if the Bernie supporters were potential Warren supporters first... Ken Burch Nov 2016 #140
Go give some advice to Bernie. boston bean Nov 2016 #166
Certainly a Warren candidacy was a certain group's fantasy, and they insisted she was a liar... Hekate Nov 2016 #204
Many Bernie supporters attacked Warren in some ugly fucked up ways when she didn't endorse Sanders JI7 Nov 2016 #210
thanks for putting it into those words LiberalLovinLug Nov 2016 #108
No one supporting her ever thought that- but BOBs pushed it hard .... bettyellen Nov 2016 #145

She did stand up for the working class. Who are the people feeling she didn't and why? boston bean Nov 2016 #228
Right...because Hillary's economic ideas were so anti-working class and all. Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #264
What she said about coal hurt her. Qutzupalotl Nov 2016 #268

What's wrong with anything he said there? Kentonio Nov 2016 #398
You are promoting a false meme - that the only people who supported her was because she's a woman. Lil Missy Nov 2016 #281
No-one is saying that's the only reason people supported her. Kentonio Nov 2016 #399

Well that's up to you of course. Kentonio Nov 2016 #414
