THREAD. I have been reluctant to say anything about Sanders's promotion of Rogan’s endorsement because if Sanders wins the nomination, I will certainly vote for him. But it’s very disturbing to me that the Bernie Sanders Twitter handle promoted a racist, transphobic, misogynist.
The Sanders campaign said “Sharing a big tent requires including those who do not share every one of our beliefs”. The Sanders campaign says it’s better to have a hateful bigot INSIDE their tent, than to drive someone like Rogan into Trump’s arms.
Of course, Bernie Sanders’s idea of "revolution" is totally different from Communist revolutions and the US is a democracy. But Sanders does share the orthodox Marxist belief that class takes precedence over gender, race, sexuality or any other kind of “identity” issue.

It's taken a while to get here, but if you've followed my feed you might've guessed I was heading in this direction:
Today, I'd like to enthusiastically endorse @ewarren as my pick for the Democratic nominee, and ultimately, as President of the United States. #AAPIsWithWarren (1)
It helped to have had the chance to meet with @ewarren face to face. As smart and thorough as she is on video—as energetic and passionate—she's more impressive in person. Devastatingly informed. Thoughtful, but also empathic. Quirky, and fully aware of her imperfect humanity. (2)
Still, the reason I held back from endorsing so long is that I genuinely like many of the candidates—including quite personally @AndrewYang, whom I've known and respected for years. His campaign is historic and his is a voice that will shape US politics for decades to come. (3)
