Other.

It seems like people here identify "identity politics" as any time women or minorities (who didn't lick Bernie's boots, that is) want a promotion. I agree that just yelling "Trump is a racist" is incredibly ineffective, and so we have to revise our tactics. So in some ways we have to change what we're doing, and in some ways we don't.

I'd like a definition of what the hell "identity politics" is before I make a more definitive statement.

the most hilarious thing to me is that REPUBLICANS think they don't use identity politics all the time.
