      You should think about being a center-pushing Dem. After all, Dems 1) don't like Nazis and 2) managed to not nominate the socialist. Not bad

      I'd be interested, Tom. What would keep you from being, say, a Joe Manchin Dem?

      Basic differences over identity politics, role of the state, purity tests, obsession with abortion, many things

          One might say "obsession with the right to privacy." ID politics seems to be general in both parties. Purity tests, you're right. Thanks.

          The beauty of being a democrat is you don't have to love it all, and you're worried about abortion but the DNC is funding anti choice people

          In my experience there are as many factions as there are people, ample room to find a small cohort.

          Id pol, check. Purity tests, check. Perhaps *anti*-abortion obsession? Role of state? Since 1932, it'd better be larger than business wants

          The white identity politics in the Reps is a vastly larger problem than whatever identity politics there is going on in the Dems.

          Arguably they inflame each other. 'White Lives Matter' now! Left better off, politically, with less id pol, IMO. See Lilla, NYT 11/18/16

          Further, the most active protests going on right now are about Civil War monuments. How do you extricate identity out of that?

          You mean you're obsessed with abortion control? Or you mean you can get down with women controlling their own bodies?
