“Identity politics isn’t feminism” is legit what a white woman just tweeted at me in defense of Bernie Sanders.

I am prepared for a loooooong debate on white feminism and identity politics and failure and accountability (indeed, I am basically writing half a book about it).
But claiming that an issues-based revolution led by a white man should trump a phenomenal woman candidate who is on the same page, when we’ve NEVER had a woman president in this country, let alone one with this degree of awareness, b/c you don’t like identity politics?

NOPE.
And PS. these academic arguments don’t win elections for democrats, period.
