Do you at least know who you’re going to vote for or if you want to? If so your two up on me.

Identity politics is an ambiguous and amorphous phrase, similar to "culture war issues", that essentially mean "non-economic issues I wish people would stop talking so much about"

But in the broadest sense of the word, labor politics would classify as identity politics since your class is a part of your identity. In a Marxist reading it's almost the only relevant part.


Identity politics that don't threaten the upper class.

Does that work better?

Uhhh yeah, definitely. I mean, it's not a total surprise, the guy married his cousin and has a mistress at 76.

Weird dude is an understatement.

Nothing will placate me because I don't like the phrase. It's useless and misguided.

I do know who I'm voting for, unfortunately, and I don't want to vote in the presidential election.

Definitely. I don't understand it, you figure when somebody is 76, they're going to be...like not thinking about sex constantly like some oblivious high schooler, but I'm getting off the topic.

Any respect I ever had for Rudi is gone at this point. He's a sleazebag lawyer and a prick.

Honestly; I’ve been teetering back and forth since COVID first broke through the egg shell back in... what, late January? Early February? (The US egg shell that is.)

That and all the politico-socio clout, fake news from every direction, and America in flames... Oy, 2020 has been a rapist.

Oooh, tough break on that one. I guess you haven't seen his Tweets from 2006 that just resurfaced? Not a good look.

A candidate with hairier legs than Biden and a fouler disposition than Trump. Truly unbeatable candidate.

Then what works for you? Cause this is a thing. Wealthy people supporting secondary issues like "women's empowerment" to deflect from real problems, like Kamala Harris being a crooked fed or Hillary Clinton being a war mongerer. It's why the mainstream media won't talk about these issues while focusing on everything evil Trump has ever done.

The only good thing that will come out of this election is Trump not having access to a nuclear arsenal anymore.

The dichotomy between "identity" politics and materialistic politics is false, stop participating in it. That people focus more on one or the other is not to the exclusion of the opposite.

Those woke Twitter users who care about women empowerment? Aren't typically friends of the bourgeois either.

They progressively got worse till their music became meaningless noise. Fuck Nickleback even more than Donald Trump. On my list of top 10 disasters, they fall just behind 9/11 and just ahead of the Hindenberg. Their music is a crime against humanity.
