      And there are principles at stake here too. You couldn't ever discuss anything if saying 'you shouldn't do this' is censorship.

      We must be able to say 'Judging ppl by their race, gender or sexuality is wrong. Don't do it.' w/out being accused of denial of free speech.

      We'd just have to throw politics out of the window completely if we decided never to make arguments on how to address social problems.

      And it is just politically counterproductive to denigrate white men in a country where most people have white men they love.

      James' argument was don't say "white male" cause saying it has brought us to the brink of nuclear war. Worst kind of correlation.

      It's contributed to bringing you Trump & the rise of white identity politics so, yeah, I'd suggest rethinking leftist identity politics.

      Nope. Data doesn't back that up. Trump had less votes than Romney. Still more registered Dems that Repubs. It's a bald assertion

      Not sure how that helps. Trump got in despite being incredibly unpopular. What is undermining credibility of left? What are voters saying?

      Why did Trump appeal at all? Plenty of analyses on his 'politically incorrect' persona. Much evidence of people wanting to punish liberals.

      If you think identity politics & a failure to discuss Islamism is not undermining the left, I don't know what to say to you.

          There really is a culture war going on & the left really is likely to lose it if it doesn't become more liberal & consistent again.

          Yes, they work on a different moral system that looks to restore balance by reversing hierarchies, not treating everyone equally.

          That's not the claim tho. We just wrote a manifesto about how the majority of people aren't ideological extremists.

          But there is something that tipped the balance this time. Not just in the US. The surge to the right is happening all over Europe.

          And you're right that the difference is very small. Increasing credibility of the left even a tiny bit likely to avoid a second Trump term.

          Good! Then you'll not support far-leftism or far-rightism but uphold consistently liberal principles of treating ppl as individuals.

          far left and the far right ideology are the problem. Both should be denounced and rest should come together in the middle to compromise.
