[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The obsession in this thread about racial and gender identity, instead of what matters (class politics) is saddening. You all are playing into the 1 percent’s divide and conquer strategy and bickering about what woman or what minority candidate will have the privilege of selling out your interests to the wealthy elite. You should care about what politician will help working class Latinos and black people, not whether the person you elect fits your superficial check boxes.

Someone like Bernie Sanders would actually champion policies that would affect the largest amount of minority voters. Who cares if he isn’t a woman? Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin are women... SMH.[/quote]

I am the one who wrote two posts ahead about a woman President before a openly gay President.  I will wholeheartedly vote for Bernie or Warren they have accomplishments and they have plans.  It is sad that in all of our history we haven't elected a single woman or a single non-christian.  We elected one Catholic and on black (actually black-white mixed race) President.  In the privacy of the voting booth people vote with their true feelings as opposed what they may say openly.  Polls are not to be trusted when a candidate has certain characteristics that are different from the majority (as in the case of Buttigeig or Booker or Castro) or different from past history (as in the case of a woman candidate).  Incidentally, for all the progressive ideas being touted by the Democrats (and I am an Independent) and having the greatest diversity of candidates, no minority candidate will even be among the last two or three candidates in the Democratic primary race.  Whereas, in 2016 the candidate who finally lost to Trump in the Republican primary race was Ted Cruz (Hispanic, Irish/Italian mixed race).
