I'll conceded I don't see how in context of this election the woman comment was needed at all... what the fuck was he thinking!?

and

Sanders could've said "here's the way you can be the 2nd Latino Senator and please fight for the middle class as hard as you can and you'll win big" was spot on without the other words around it.

But this is from Sanders speech (not click bate stories)

In other words, one of the struggles that you’re going to be seeing in the Democratic Party is whether we go beyond “identity politics.” I think it’s a step forward in America if you have an African-American head or CEO of some major corporation. But do you know what? If that guy is going to be shipping jobs out of this country and exploiting his workers, doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot if he’s black or white or Latino.

I still feel that soreness of Cornell West (that was some bullshit) but lets agree that we don't care what package the person comes in if they're going to do 95% of the same thing the republicans are going to do then fuck em .... no matter what their identity is.

your take?
