When people say "move away from identity politics" do y'all mean in public or should we just say fukk it and refuse to address specific challenges at all? If it's the former, then what is even the point in all of this? If it's the latter, Republicans can still zero in on specific policy and blow those up to smear x Democrat as supporting whatever "radical" or "dangerous" agenda they've invented, using race, sex, or gender identity as the central boogeyman, no matter how much Democrats try to shift away from these issues. They act in bad faith. And this is all a game they play to distract from their own failures, and no matter what Democrats do, they will weaponize these issues against them for political gain.
