I'm as progressive as anyone.
But I don't support this "identity politics" stuff.
That's a way to divide the people, not unite them.
The problem of America and most of the world isn't so much a man-woman divide or a black-white divide, or a gay-straight divide. It is a middle class have - working class have not divide.
  The women's movement at this time, the whole array of Democratic Party and CNN protests - they are all a big fat red herring.
  The only way to unite America and bridge the dangerous divide in Europe is for the middle class to support the working class, as they did in the 1960's.
  We need to support the Bernie Sanders political revolution to transform the economy. That way women, blacks, Latinos, and gays will all benefit from more equality. The same old same old identity politics, ignoring the real issue of classism is the way to ensure people are divided, the 1% continue to enrich themselves, and the  middle class voting block remains a shill for the status quo.
