And Senator Sanders pitches identity politics as well, he just doesn’t call it that. (He uses the term as a pejorative in the same way some conservatives use the term “social justice warrior.”)

Pitching his views to the so-called “working class” is identity politics: He is identifying with the working class.

All politics is identity politics, including that guy with the ranch north of me that has the Dixie Swastikas and the Nazi flag flying from his front gate.

Zactly. But here’s another thing he doesn’t get it, he doesn’t get that a lot of what he deirdes as identity politics is a response to the right creating this in the first place. It’s been Republican governors waging war on choice, Republican governors trying to legislate who can use which bathroom, etc.
