What I read is his friends identified him as economically leftist, but took issue with identity politics

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Which depending on context could be as simple as "I dont care ill mind my own business you mind yours." which I suspect is what most folks opinions boil down to.

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@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months 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@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months 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@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months 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.
