Pushing him left, folks! This all feels so 2008. Why can't they hire someone new, who would believe the same stuff, but wouldn't be so obviously opposed to climate change activists? You know, just to fake us out and give us some hope.

    This is one of many examples of why identity politics is a cancer and needs to die forever.

    You won't be able to criticize these picks cause you'll be called racist, sexist and whatever.

      The capitalist class and their media will neutralize any ideology that threatens them by turning it into the dumbest version of itself. It's not really a problem inherent to identity politics. If Marxism-Leninism was popular in America, you'd better believe they'd appropriate it and call you a revisionist for saying their program of "more CEOs from working class backgrounds" isn't socialism.

        Identity politics is more easily used to silence voices than it is to encourage representation.

          100% correct take. I remember during the primaries getting shouted down by liberals for bringing this fact up in regards to Warren. It's all IDPOL for these drones and it's so depressing
