In the end, while my working class maternal grandparents certainly did have to work hard and make no mistake they did, my grandparents weren’t fleeing their home because of bans on interracial marriage as my grandfather’s famous employee Richard Loving did. My grandfather as a heterosexual man did not have to worry about losing his job to his sexual orientation the way LGBT people do today. And as a U.S born white man, unlike Hispanics of today, he never really had to worry about people accusing him of taking their jobs. Being working class isn’t easy. I won’t say Sanders is wrong on that point and we should be in favor of things like living wages, more affordable college education of some kind, etc but where Sanders is wrong is that the marginized groups are engaging in identity politics. They have been told repeatedly that they are the other. Black men and women, poor and wealthy have experienced harassment by the police. Same thing with LGBT people who don’t have discrimination protections. Sanders needs to get this. If he doesn’t. It will be hard to take him seriously.
