ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: “You think the 2016 Democratic primary fight between the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders got rough? The 2020 primary is going to look like Mad Max’s ‘Fury Road.’ The great irony is that this long process may eventually undermine the power of identity politics, as the surviving Democratic nominee will probably have been accused of racism, sexism, etcetera in the process of winning the primary.”
Sadly, the Democrats’ 2020 primary “may eventually undermine the power of identity politics” in much the same way that Obama’s election in 2008 brought the nation so much well-deserved racial healing, to paraphrase Jon Gabriel’s Tweet of the Decade.
