Why does everything need to be politicized? No one gives a flying fuck if you're a leftist, unless you're a Leftist and no one gives a fuck if you're a right winger unless you're a right winger. Jesus christ the US Politics are absolute fucking cancer.
It's considered 'left' to support queer and trans rights, and there are a good number of people that seem to have a problem with that whether my queer self is political or not.
Guaranteeing that every individual has the same rights independently of their sex, sexual orientation, race, skin color and so on... Shouldn't be neither left nor right. It just should be. It's just common sense.
There are plenty of another topic for the left vs right to debate. Leave identity politics out of it and just let people live like they want.
"Leave identity politics out of it" you do realize the modern Democrat party revolves around playing victim and identity politics? They're not going to let it go now. Need more victims.
I don’t understand that. What did Democrats do or say to make you claim they’re "revolving around playing victim and identity politics"? Could you give some examples of that behavior?
I mean, maybe I am too far left or just too European, but from my POV it clearly looks as if it’s the rightwingers who are doing their part of identity politics by fighting the "woke" people vigorously.
While Democrats just want minorities and disadvantaged groups to enjoy the same rights as everybody else. Which I would appreciate.
The Republican Party also plays identity politics, especially white and Christian identity politics. A lot of Christians base their identity around the idea of needing to feel persecuted.
Or the need to hate someone or something. The irony of modern day Jesus worship.
