Get a third grader to read and explain that definition to you. Apparently the rest of us are so far over your head you canât even follow with your eyes.
TWR⌠your definition defines identity politics as
âpolitics 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 groupâ
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 âgroupâ 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?)?
âThe rightâ is pro life based on religious beliefs. How are they not dividing people who donât 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.
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 peopleâs 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 arenât nearly as dumb as you are or nearly as obvious about it. Howâs that for clarifying, dumbass?
âYeah because thatâs what people are concerned with, not having representatives who will actually represent them regardless of gender. Identity politics. Itâs all you clowns have. â
Iâll let slide the fact that you somehow donât appreciate the inroads women have made in politics.
So you are telling me you didnât mean Democrats play identity politics but that JUST I play identity politics? If that is what you are saying then ok champ. Letâs see if you can defend a position without appealing to an identity in politics. As TWR showed, identity politics isnât just limited to Race or Sex.
