Good.

You can't vote unless you are a citizen.

You support a retard like DeSantis who passes laws banning books from schools because your fellow white evangelicals are hot and bothered about Maus and Anne Frank, why are you lecturing me about identity politics?

Catholics*

So do you propose we should be a Christian nation then?

I mean, you support identity politics. So you support politics catering to religions.

I personally believe in separation of church and state, myself.

I am humbled by your profound inability to read.

Identity politics is a meaningless term, especially when used as a form of criticism by the right. All of the things that they support contain identity politics, because identity politics is all politics. All of the things the left supports contain identity politics, because identity politics is all politics.

Not really a completely fair criticism. DeSantis kept schools open, which was better than what most idiots in the US did

I want offshore wind so that the US can export natural gas BIGLY to destroy Russia and Iran’s power over their own people (mainly Iran, I want oil and gas to have no value such that the mullahs are ripped to pieces, preferably by my own hands)

Where’s the identity in that? Iranian? I’d say it’s mutually beneficial pragmatism that primarily comes from me being an electrical engineer with a hard on for windmills

No, Identity Politics ISN'T is a meaningless term, or else no one would be talking about it.

Catering to and focusing on a particular group or class within politics absolutely happens and it absolutely is divisive.

There's a difference between advocating for a particular group and taking part in identity politics.

Identity Politics is the extreme version of advocating.

I think you're failing to see the point I am making. Can't tell if it's deliberate, wondering why I even care.

Most people who argue with each other about politics online talk past each other.

I'm saying you should aim to avoid playing into identity politics.

You're saying (I think) that it happens no matter what. Which is true. If you know a certain demographic likes you, you're going to lean into that.

But at the end of the day, it becomes divisive when you focus your full attention into one demographic.

We shouldn't have the "Only White People Should Be Provided For" party. That's identity politics.
