Mac, we all care about results. The fact is that your assessment is totally wrong. What do you call Reagans made up story about the black welfare queen? That's identity politics Mac. And it has been Republicans doing it. Then when Democrats come back and call what they do racist, they whine about Democrats playing identity politics. What was the Willie Horton ad Mac? Identity politics. I can cite all kinds of examples of right wing identity politics, beginning with the sourthern strategy. Yet you are here talking about Democrats playing identity politics. Nixon was the first, then Reagan and the right had been looking for another one ever since.
You seem unable to see through the bs coming from the right because you want to believe both sides are the same. Or that one side must compromise, when there can be no compromise with wrong. The right is nakedly doing whatever it takes to return to absolute white power and yu want somebody to cmpromise. Frederick Douglss said it best:
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” -Frederick Douglass
Accomodation is not going to get the changes you want. Neither will bothersideism. You're either fighting for what's right, or you are in the way.
