        no, information breaches by foreign powers, voter suppression & axe-grinders within the FBI cost *us* this election.

        Fair. I think Dems were foolish to take Michigan and Wisconsin and big parts of their base for granted.

        Let's hope so. Identity politics needs to die a quick death. It's already done way too much damage to our social cohesion.

        the ONLY fair society is one that assures equality of opportunity, not of outcome. Eq. of opportunity and then come what may.

        For a linguist you post a lot of manipulative rhetorical bullshit.

        Puhlease. Is there any data that focusing on diversity reduces awareness of outside conditions/groups?

        It's not diversity - it's neo-Marxism and historical materialism, yet again.

        Good to see some Left folks thinking. Identity politics has corrupted the Left, it's an insane quasi-religion, rots everything.

        Identity politics was always an anathema to true liberalism. The genie can't easily but once more contained.

        It was not either than the democrats ignored working (or not) 'whites' but that they treated them with contempt.

        This is probably the beginning or increasingly racialized politics. The long march through the institutions can't be turned off.

        The progressive left can't even refer to the white working classes by name. Contemptible.pic.twitter.com/bSgKvEV2Ad
