re: #109 HappyWarrior

I guess it’s easier to shit on Clinton in places where she barely lost than places that she lost overwhelmingly. He just can’t admit that it’s more than just economic. Now, his solution seems to be that we drop the emphasis on the social issues but as I said being staunchly pro-choice, pro LGBT, immigrant, etc is just as much as part of the progressive identity as the issues he speaks of.

And Senator Sanders pitches identity politics as well, he just doesn’t call it that. (He uses the term as a pejorative in the same way some conservatives use the term “social justice warrior.”)

Pitching his views to the so-called “working class” is identity politics: He is identifying with the working class.

All politics is identity politics, including that guy with the ranch north of me that has the Dixie Swastikas and the Nazi flag flying from his front gate.
