Identity politics isn't political, it's actually anti politics. We used to call it "tokenism", and I'm sticking with that. Nobody should be fooled by the old trick of including gender bending chauvanists or lady corporatists in the management. Nobody should have been fooled by Obama.
One problem is that Americans aren't educated enough or honest enough for politics, so they don't run their own government.

@Roundandroundwego Wow, okay. Transphobic among your many other charms.

@LordShadowfire no, I'm not any kind of sexist or phobe - when I learned English we still said "lady doctor" and "lady mailman", "lady policeman", etc, and "tokenism". When you include a few ladies in your team and then pretend you made some statements about women's concerns or sexism, then we shouldn't buy it. Tokenism is so lame.

@JohnOlinger81 sort of. I was born in Philadelphia. Still not quite disconnected with my heritage and historical homelands.

@LordShadowfire what's your problem with gender benders? My problem is fifty years ago, when a man with long hair or a gal with a shag do was a substitute for leftists in government. The Dems keep doing it and rebranded it identity politics. What about some leftist politics?

@Roundandroundwego
what's your problem with gender benders?
When you call them that, it kind of sounds like you don't support them at all.
