Saying stuff like this and ignoring history of oppression is how you lose elections. Easy for him to say coming from his place of privilege. https://twitter.com/andrewyang/status/1137441768645861376
I thought intersectionality was a derogatory term to describe a thought process of clueless liberals. It’s actually a class?
🤣
Identity politics is a cancer that degrades the mind and prevents intelligent discourse.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Yes favoring in a group of people based on their skin color or sexuality is wrong
The Civil Rights Act only passed in1964. If you don't think that's still relevant to the state of the country today you're deluded.
One of the few things Andrew is right about.
We didn't have intersessionality class
that’s because it wasn’t made up yet
Are these offered at like schools inside cult compounds
OP is an A+ troll. “Identity politics” is a made up label that the racist, homophobic right uses to dismiss anyone who isn’t racist and homophobic simply for not being racist and homophobic. Yang isn’t racist or homophobic, so he’s actually doing something interesting here: trying to get the sort of people who are susceptible to dishonest Republican claims of identity politics (the Reddit / tech bro crowd mostly - the sort of people who aren’t really involved in politics) on board with his campaign. Even though his social politics aren’t really different than any other Democrat. Of course that needs to not backfire by alienating the Democratic base who is involved in politics enough to see the Republican “identity politics” attacks for the dishonest bs they are.
I’m all for identity politics, because it makes the left eat each other and lose elections. Case and point in the replies lol
Identity politics is about identifying issues that matter to groups of voters, it is nothing new. Those saying that identity politics are bad, are typically those that want to discount issues faced by others, because they aren’t impacted by those issues.
Right. Identity politics is just politics.
And politics is just people arguing. Good thing there's free speech
Identity politics was good till it was used to mobilise minority voters. In last few years, worldwide a new batch of leaders have made the identity politics based on the grievances of the majority. Now, it’s all square again.

Amidst mass layoffs the US govt allows companies to hire Visa Workers without proving they first tried hiring US workers
Thank god there is a sane democrat who does not want to go down the sink hole of identity politics, and actually speaks policy
Yeah, I was just probably why the media refuses to Acknowledge he exists
