Ol' Mac, just a man ahead of his time....

From the piece, my comments in bold:
We need a post-identity liberalism, and it should draw from the past successes of pre-identity liberalism.
"Pre-identity liberalism"? LOL, oh, you mean before the PC zealots took over the Democratic Party.
Such a liberalism would concentrate on widening its base by appealing to Americans as Americans and emphasizing the issues that affect a vast majority of them.
"Americans as Americans"? Oh, you mean like before the PC zealots divided us into little grievance groups and turned us all into hyphenated-Americans.
It would speak to the nation as a nation of citizens who are in this together and must help one another. As for narrower issues that are highly charged symbolically and can drive potential allies away, especially those touching on sexuality and religion, such a liberalism would work quietly, sensitively and with a proper sense of scale. (To paraphrase Bernie Sanders, America is sick and tired of hearing about liberals’ damn bathrooms.)
"Damn bathrooms"? Oh, you mean like before the PC zealots decided to shove their cultural agenda in our face and down our throats.
Maybe I underestimated some on the Left. Maybe some of them really ARE coming around to my way of thinking!
Oh, and Will ANY PC Police admit ANY responsibility for Trump?
