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

The problem with that is that oppression injustice, and inequity are often based on a person‘s identity

[–] Argonne 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] dessimbelackis 5 points 4 days ago

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

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

[–] Argonne 5 points 4 days ago

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

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.
