idea that centrist pro-corp dems are the protectors of "identity politics" is something invented 24 months ago & has little historical basis

I think the concern is that "identity left" may have more power over the centrists than over the "economic left"? Esp if Obama = centrist.

I think ALL political wings have mixed historical and recent records on blk issues, queer issues, feminist issues, etc.
