    Identity politics will be the downfall of democracy if Democrats don’t stop that bullshit

        Still do it, just don’t base your entire platform on it. It’s not that hard to understand but most democrat politicians can’t

          Agreed there, democrats continue to refuse to challenge their economic masters and try to use identity politics as a sop

      I don’t believe that the democrats actually based their entire platform on identity politics. That’s more a right wing issue, in that they have an issue with the existence of certain groups of people.

      I don’t remember seeing a trans person as a speaker at any of the rallies for the DNC, for instance.

      Why do you blame Democrats for identity politics and not Republicans for passing laws based on identity politics?

        Because that’s what Republican voters want and that’s enough for them. They vote on spite and hate and the GOP feeds them it
