2019 State of the Union - Official Live Thread 🔴

You literally didn’t post anything that answered my question. You came to Wiley’s defense only to prove me right with your definition.

Then you further confirm my stance by posting my exact words.

Both sides play identity politics! Thanks TWR for putting all together.

Modern day Sherlock! :joy:

I’m not having an honest discussion? I flat out asked you if identity politics is limited to race? Is it limited to sex?

I am asking questions about your definition. And I’m the one not being honest?

Get a third grader to read and explain that definition to you. Apparently the rest of us are so far over your head you can’t even follow with your eyes.

Ok I’ll ask a third grader…

TWR… your definition defines identity politics as

“politics in which groups of people having a particular racial, religious, ethnic, social, or cultural identity tend to promote their own specific interests or concerns without regard to the interests or concerns of any larger political group”

Can you define to me what that means and how it refutes my reply to Wiley where I state that both sides play identity politics?

Which “group” of a particular racial, religious, ethnic, social, or cultural identity (Democrats? White people? Black people? Which group?) is promoting their own interests without regard to the interest or concerns of the larger political party (democrats? Republicans? Which political group?)?

It isn’t “the right” who is dividing us along gender, sex, racial, ethnic, or religious lines and pitting one group against the others.

If “all politics is identity politics” the phrase would not have a separate definition.

Finally an answer!

“The right” is pro life based on religious beliefs. How are they not dividing people who don’t believe in pro life? Are they not pitting one group (pro choice) against another group (pro-life)?

Identity politics is just a subset of politics. Both can exist.

“Pro Life” is not dependent on any religious affiliation. Try again.

“Pro Life” is a position on a specific issue, abortion on demand.

Nobody but yourself even suggested both cannot exist.

Is that right? Interesting

He’s just trolling you guys…it’s like Clinton what’s the definition “IS” is.

It’s the tactic they use over at USMB and BNN. It’s old, it’s tiresome and just plain stupid.

I stop playing their silly game long time ago.

She was like a cat swatting at invisible butterflies.

I think that they might have tightened her face enough to cut off blood supply to her pea-sized brain.

Kids in cages…

You didn’t even bother looking at the link did you?

You can be an atheist, muslim, pagan, Chrisian, ■■■■ or have agnostic and still be “pro life”.

Religious affiliation isn’t a requirement in any way.

Pelousi exists in her own reality, one she makes up from moment to moment as she goes through life looking for a clue.

That is an attempt at positive proof by example. The problem is that there are also athiests that are pro-life.

You have fallen off the cliff of crazy, Wile E. C.

Calling that any form of reality is a stretch, then again that is her nickname. :wink:

Try not telling lies, Say it: wouldn’t bother to post because he said I’m not worth the effort to reply to.

See your just like democrats, a liar.

I did. The entire page talked about religious actions such as prayer.

Wiley claims (paraphrasing) that the democrat play identity politics by pandering to women or black people. I say the republicans play identity politics by pandering to evangelicals. Both sides play to people’s identities

Yeah I said no such thing. I said you (and your hack friends) are dumb and identity politics is all YOU have. Most Democrats aren’t nearly as dumb as you are or nearly as obvious about it. How’s that for clarifying, dumbass?

Here is what you said to me

“Yeah because that’s what people are concerned with, not having representatives who will actually represent them regardless of gender. Identity politics. It’s all you clowns have. :roll_eyes:“

I’ll let slide the fact that you somehow don’t appreciate the inroads women have made in politics.

So you are telling me you didn’t mean Democrats play identity politics but that JUST I play identity politics? If that is what you are saying then ok champ. Let’s see if you can defend a position without appealing to an identity in politics. As TWR showed, identity politics isn’t just limited to Race or Sex.

Carry on.
