I prefer him to the neoliberals and the neocons tbh. It isn't about identity politics: it's about destabilizing government enough to where real progressive change agents could step in with a vengeance. We'll see one of those in 2020 maybe.
I'm sure you all know this one on some level already, but in the same way that people don't change unless you push them to the brink of destruction, America isn't ever going to change unless someone pushes it to the breaking point. You need someone incredibly polarizing to force a change in the status quo. That wasn't going to happen with a Hillary Clinton presidency.
