[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sick of the identity politics from Dems and the GOP. Trump was all-in on the nationalism/white/christian junk. Democrats are all now all-into hyper-racialize politics of the Black/White variant.

I'm relatively wealthy, but willing to pay moderately higher taxes. I want police reform, but not defund the police. I want my kids to learn about racism, without hyper-racialize curriculum where everything and anything is racist. Inflation pisses me off. And, I'm sick of seeing my subordinates slack off at work, while I work 50-60 hours a week, as they demand larger and larger pay raises.

I'll either vote Republican or not at all in 2022 and probably 2024. Someone will call me privileged, racist, or something else. Your knee-jerk response is exactly why people like me will cause Biden and co to lose... and lose big.[/quote]

I’m a different poster, who also voted for Biden, but feels the same.

This identity politics and shouting anyone down who wants to employ objective criticism in policy development, is getting out of hand. What I mean is the push to redefine math education so it’s less rigorous in order to help social engineering and quotas and what not is insane. The push for restorative justice and violence interruptors that don’t work and other lax liberal criminal reform polices over tough on crime policing is stupid. The constant outrage and hyperbole and exasperated language on some many things these days is so annoying. Not every little problem is caused by systemic racism. It’s okay to ask about personal accountability and wanting to be strong on crime in the face of rising murder rates and crime. It’s okay not swallow every single part of this current social justice movement and to both want strong education and safer cities and not be a “racist”. So yes, Dems will lose big because voters will simply and quietly vote for whichever party is less morally rigid. Both sides are shtty in their own ways. Whether it’s religious zealotry on the right or moral absolutism on the left in the form of triggered SJWs yelling at everyone.[/quote]
you were confusing activists with the Democratic Party. Those are two very separate things. an activist may push the Democratic Party but the Democratic Party is nowhere close to what you’re referring to. However if you look at the current GOP they are extreme. they are a party who has refused to refute the big lie, they have pushed anti-VAX anti-mask agenda, they push election shams, they have pushed these radical authoritarian ideas. You really need to separate what is noise from a group that has very little power to who holds the power which are the parties and what they are both doing. [/quote]

Both parties have crazy people. Liberal crazies are more vocal these days. They are a distraction.
