...in America is based on party identity..it's only when the status quo is being threatened that the term identity politics gains traction and is seen as negative when women, non white, non Christian, lgbt who advocate for social, economic, environmental rights dare to challenge that status quo. Yet, time and demographic change is on our side--and we will be a pluralistic society.

As for Gabbard, she curently serves in the military; is a smart, articulate educated, experienced democratic politician who happens to be a woman, samoan/native haw wain, a practicing Hindu ....and of recent DID NOT throw Al Franken under the bus..and DID NOT join the Senate democrats in asking for his resignation (at this time not sure if any USrepresentatives call for his resignation more particularly, Gabbard) she is an American hero serving in our military, true to party. We all have flaws, some more than others ..say trumpf, so compared to him ...republikkklans--any qualified democrat is the better choice. Yet, describing Gabbard as volatile? Well, I sincerely disagree.
