Joy Reid is on fire right now about the left

This isn't true.

You don't think so?

I remember David Axelrod making a point to highlight certain groups to create a multicultural coalition.

When people say identity politics they are referring to "cosmetic diversity" as one person put it. Essentially putting a person of color as the face of the same old policy. Obama never told you to vote for him because he was the black version of Bill Clinton, he said he was going to change all of your lives for the better and he went to every community and told them how we were all connected and how they fit into the economic vision. Heck, his own identity was basically marketed as incidental to his candidacy. He would give little hints to black audiences using certain cadences but overall he never focused on the fact that he was black. HRC literally said "I would be the first woman president" whenever she got the chance. People saw that as them being told to vote for history instead of their own interests. Moreover, she never simplified her economic message. She was more concerned with looking presidential than making sure people really believed she was on their side.

When people brought up the "woman card," she responded "deal me in." That worked on no one but a certain brand of feminist. When confronted with his race, Obama gave the speech about a more perfect union. At the DNC he said "a preacher from Atlanta." He never beat you over the head with it.

Most of those tweets aren't even coherent statements.
