I am so fed up with the argument "Don't address problems on the left coz it feeds the right." It isn't enough to point out the problems on the other side & call people names for voting for them. Isn't this clear yet? To get elected, the left needs to be credible & respectworthy.

If folks aren’t shifting away from Trump by this point, I’m not sure they ever will.

It's not enough to make liberal speaking points about the problems with the right. There's a need to speak to concerns that trigger conservative moral foundations and also to alleviate fears that the left is dominated by identity politics & won't address any problems with Islam.

Look at why people say they voted Trump this time when they voted Obama last time. They felt that Hillary represented an elite which didn't care about the working class, authoritarian buttons got pushed by the refugee crisis. They felt that identity politics dominated the Left.

“They felt that identity politics dominated the Left.” There’s a reason why they felt that. RW pundits & YouTube talking heads told them, & still do, over & over again. I’m a little cynical of their love bombing of you guys right now unless I see a behaviour change from them.

S'OK. The loons have soured on me coz I said I oppose shitting down identity studies courses.

James told Vox that he is in favor of shutting down identity studies. You all need to get your stories straight

I note the article doesn’t quote his words & you haven’t acknowledged the caveat. It’s not unreasonable to opine that if one can’t tell the difference between their good scholarship & bad how can one trust any of it.

The article does quote him. Do you feel the same in regards to Economic Studies?

I honestly don’t know what’s going on Helen. Trump has a 47% approval rating despite his overt fascist tendencies and violence towards journalists. I’m lost. I like Beto O’Rourke because he speaks well and it seems people always value that over substance.

There's a whole different narrative going on. That's the whole problem and the cause of the disconnect.
