“LIVE BY IDENTITY POLITICS, DIE BY IDENTITY POLITICS:”

● Joy Reid’s Racial Test: Democrats ‘Can’t Run Two White Guys’ in 2020.

—NewsBusters, today.

● “Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand [D-NY] asked by Van Jones if she was bothered the top 3 in the national poll were white men, flatly said ‘yes’”

—As spotted by Twitchy, today, who asks, “Quick question for Gillibrand:  If the Democrat nominee does end up being Bernie, Beto, Joe or another white guy, is she going to pull her support?”

● And from Friday, “CNN election analyst [Harry Enten] on Dems’ 2020 race: ‘I am not sure it’s the time to nominate a white man.’”

I’m so old, I can remember the two major political parties simply ran the most electable candidate — but then for 21st century left, identity politics is everything.
