The difference between identity politics and seeking true representation: Identity politics: voting for someone BECAUSE of their identity and ignoring flaws in their ideology Seeking true representation: supporting diverse candidates *who represent your views* 1/2
Example:
I donated to multiple presidential candidates to get them in debates, because I wanted to hear their views. After listening, I still chose @BernieSanders.
As a multi-racial woman, I reject any assumption that I should vote a certain way because of MY identity.
Have you read this fairly lengthy, but excellent article on Class by Paul Heidemen, the ONLY division that matters?https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/working-class-structure-oppression-capitalist-identity …
Thus, radicalized Republicans are the only true practitioners of Identity Politics, as they will only vote for those that they perceive to be White Supremacists.
Preach sister.
I agree with you, but I grieve for the fact that identity politics -- which stemmed from scholarship on race, gender & sexuality -- was never originally this reductive. It went hand in hand with liberation & ideology. This dumbed down version is 100% a centrist re-definition.
I think the arguments they made: that our identities to a large part influence our ideology is very much common sense, but it's rendered ridiculous because people twisted it to mean "brown = correct" as opposed to "for many, being brown is formative to their ideology"
Yeah, I think I was supposed to support Buttigieg because I am a nerdy white gay, but alas, I am Socialist AF.
