THIS comment by white Democrat @RepCartwright PISSES ME OFF. He said this in a @washingtonpost story on @KamalaHarris & @amyklobuchar getting a close look from @JoeBiden for VP: "“I think identity politics only gets you so far. What people really want to know is 1/4

are we going to have an effective team in the White House.” So by reading this, @RepCartwright chalks up the talk of a Black or Latina as @JoeBiden& #39;s VP as being "identity politics" yet @amyklobuchar is being talked up because she can appeal to white voters in the Midwest. 2/4

What @RepCartwright and other white folks need to get through their heads is that their use of "identity politics" isn& #39;t just about Black and brown. That phrase also includes white voters. Yet they love to use it as a negative against us. Is a woman VP "identity politics"? 3/4

The reality is that white people in America see themselves as the majority and everyone else as "other." Folks like @RepCartwright can& #39;t seem to grasp how white identity politics has been at the forefront of America since its inception. But I guess only we learned that. 4/4
