Stop.

Just stop.

Stop the singular lens of identity politics through which your party must view all things. Stop labeling everything white supremacy, or sexism, or the patriarchy, or basically elevating grievance culture to the fore, and pushing lack of self accountability to the background, and blaming external forces out of anyone’s control as the sole reasons for peoples problems. Stop trying to redefine or cut funding for policing in violence plagued communities. Stop using academic jargon in your policy language and getting mad when the average American doesn’t factor in intersectional feminism into every issue, when they just want to buy affordable gas and educate their children. Your focus on the rights of like tiny swaths of the population is going to fk you in the elections. I don’t care how hip you want to be.

Your candidates also lost because parents are concerned about the watering down of Gifted and Talented classes programs, or math education, or “punctuality” or basically that you lost focus of teaching English, math and science and decided to focus more on humanistic concepts and social injustice. Bother are important issues. Racism is terrible. However, people are not just perpetual victims that you can infantalize as John McWhorter succinctly notes. People are fed up with your histrionics and sensationalist bs. Get a fking grip.

It's a terrible sign for Democrats that she believes this is the lesson to be learned. It's insane that she thinks they're going to win more elections by continuing to push left. They're pushing the moderates/independents (the ones who really decide the elections) away.

The young are significantly farther to the left. If the party runs has-been corporate Democrats like McAuliffe it will lose because he doesn’t represent the progressive change needed in society and demanded by younger voters. More candidates like AOC and Ayanna Pressley are exactly what is needed to drive the young to the polls and finally make the country a nation that works for all, not just a privileged few. It’s your “moderate” Dems like Manchin and Sinema who are standing in the way of progress.
Also, you sound old.

Yeah, this kind of too cool, slam dunking on people “you’re too old boomer!” also sounds good on Twitter but doesn’t win elections.

If AOC wasn't hot, no one would pay attention to her. Is that the progressive wing's plan going forward?

This is your great plan to win elections? Insult posters while expecting young voters to show up for a state governor election? I'm not sure if you're young or old, but you're certainly naïve and will help flip the House/Senate next year.

The House just passed a bill that gives even more of a tax break to the rich. Yes...more of that, please.

Plenty of people paid attention to Bernie with the same platform so it’s about her being hot.

Objectifying a woman of color. How classy. Case in point for the radical change needed.

Stick with candidates not fully committed to progressive values and see what happens. Simply giving mealymouthed lip-service to change is easy to see through and that you think we will continue to fall for it shows your naïveté.

You think you're going to actually win enough elections for a "progressive" majority of any sort? Haha, yeah...I hope that's the plan.

Amazing, you really think this is why Virginia was lost. But hey, if by 'not continuing to fall for it' means your bloc won't be voting, I guess that's a win.

It really is RW and I say this as a Bill Maher fan. But doesn’t that prove it? I’m a lib but generally like Bill Maher. Most of us are not in line w/ this fake BS ‘woke’ line you guys are obsessed w. It’s such BS. Most of us just dont think children should starve or people should die when fairly routine medical intervention could save their life. WE are willing to redistribute income a bit to prevent those outcomes. We don’t give much an F abt bathrooms - just wish everyone could give others basic respect.

Republicans are firmly and profoundly against giving basic dignity and respect to other people. That’s the difference. This woke sh!t is a RW talking point.

Those carrying the torch for your party only know how to play identify politics, and more and more people are tired of it. However, the liberal extremists are doubling down on this messaging for some reason and are going to get slaughtered next year at the voting booth.

Stop with the BS identity politics talking points. Republicans are the ultimate gaslighters. Since Reagan, who announced his candidacy in Philadelphia, MS, Republicans have based all elections on identity politics. What was "Mexicans are rapists"? What was Willie Horton again?

So stop with the BS.

It's funny how the party who decreased taxes for the 1% and don't believe in Medicaid expansion for the poor have the nerve to talk about someone being out of touch.

Agreed that it’s losing politics, so not sure why liberals insist on playing that game. I think they’ve squeezed as many votes as they’re going to get out of this strategy and are now starting to lose votes.
