  2. How is me pointing out democrats using identity politics considered "me going back" to identity politics.

    It's like calling me a racist for calling a black guy a racist. It's simply not true.

  4. Ok, I'll break it down.

    1. You posted a link urging us to check out candidates
    2. I followed it and noticed every single candidate was a minority
    3. I then pointed it out to you
    4. You said we need to move past identity politics
    5. I agreed
    6. You then said I didn't move past identity politics because I was pointing out that you(or rather your party) hasnt.
    7. I responded by trying to explain that I was just pointing it out and tried to give an analogy(that perhaps I should've put more thought into), but I thought you'd get what I was saying anyway.
    8. You got confused and here we are.

  5. Now I get it. I agree that the Democrats play the race card way too often. But I am not naive enough to believe that this is an ailment that only affects Democrats.

    The Democrats abuse (leverage) race once every four years. The Republicans are obsessed with it every waking moment. Race, and bathroom stalls.

    Socialism has never worked and it never will. Why do we have to keep trying over and over again failed system of government the worst for the majority of people? Are people incapable of learning from history?

    Socialism is utopia.

  10. When were republicans ever obsessed about race? Literally I have no idea what you are talking about. Republicans think people should get employed based on their qualifications. Democrats think they should get employed based on their skin color. If you think affirmative action isn't the most racist policy in America right now, reverse it. Imagine that if you had a black and white person applying for a job and the government said you have to employ the white people first.
