Sanders said we had to rethink our party and accept, endorse etc...people who had voted as Perriello and Mello had done in 2017. And he has made other remarks about identity politics and called Planned Parenthood establishment. So this is an issue if he is smart, he will stay away from. And posting a 46 year old position Joe Biden took once upon a time won't help Sanders...just the opposite.
