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.

Completely separate from the fact that judging people by their sex and race is completely unethical & unreasonable & most people know this.

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.
