You're not coming from a genuine place with this and the article I posted represents exactly what I'm talking about. The only people making your argument had an issue with identity politics in the first place. It has nothing to do with this election, it is just an excuse to rally against something you don't care about. Your whole class vs. intersectionality dichotomy is going to destroy the very coalition you seek to build. Moreover, as I've said time and again, those issues are not why the working class left the Democratic Party. They originally left due to racism and then Democrats thought they were hopeless and moved to a more corporatist form of liberalism while also appealing to these individual's racist sensibilities in order to get enough of them to win elections. Things like welfare reform was a nod to them, but it also allowed the government to cut taxes. In 2008 and 2012 they voted for a liberal Obama because they thought it made sense economically. They didn't feel slighted by any of those identities issues to such an extent that they voted against their interests. You're creating a false picture to continue your narrative of putting identity politics to the backburner so we can focus strictly on the surveillance state and labor.

The idea that because something only effects 0.03% of the population that it is irrelevant is ridiculous. So did the rights of African-Americans not matter because they were only like 10% of the population? Where does that stop? How big do you have to be to matter? Moreover, it's not an either or thing. You're trying to make it that way so that we don't address it at all. It's dishonest. The Great Society programs happened along side Civil Rights Legislation. What is counterproductive is ignoring the issues of the working class, but if you honestly think that working class Americans got turned off from HRC because she got the support of Lena Dunham then you're grossly misreading the American electorate. They got turned off because they were ignored period. It wasn't about shifting focus, it was about acting as if they don't exist.

You have not learned the lesson and you will continue to contribute to the death of the progressive agenda, all while thinking you are saving it.

I have shown many examples where they prioritize money, time and political clout on inconsequential things.

And yea, 0.03% matters. That 0.03% will be fukked anyway now. It's also disingenuous to compare something that is not even grounded in biology to civil rights movement.

Like I said, I make it clear where I stand. I've been putting up with this dumb shyt from the left so it isn't anything new to me. Just stop crying when you lose because you will continue to lose.

Progressive Agenda must begin at the Class struggle. Everything else needs to fall in line behind it. Sorry if that hurts feelings.

Don't listen to me. Listen to the leaders of the civil rights movement. They spelled it out on multiple occasions.

Here is Fred Hampton in his own words giving you the fukking blueprint:

And we understand. You know a lot of people have hang-ups with the Party because the Party talks about a class struggle. And the people that have those hang-ups are opportunists, and cowards, and individualists and everything that's anything but revolutionary. And they use these things as an excuse to justify and to alibi and to bonify their lack of participation in the real revolutionary struggle. So they say, "Well, I can't dig the Panther Party because the Panthers they are engrossed with dealing with oppressor country radicals, or white people, or hunkies, or what have you. They said these are some of the excuses that I use to negate really why I am not in the struggle."

We got a lot of answers for those people. First of all, we say primarily that the priority of this struggle is class. That Marx, and Lenin, and Che Guevara end Mao Tse-Tung and anybody else that has ever said or knew or practiced anything about revolution, always said that revolution is a class struggle. It was one class--the oppressed--those other class--the oppressor. And it's got to be a universal fact. Those that don't admit to that are those that don't want to get involved in a revolution, because they know that as long as they're dealing with a race thing, they'll never be involved in a revolution. They can talk about numbers; they can hang you up in many, many ways, but as soon as you start talking about class, then you got to start talking about some guns. And that's what the Party had to do.

When the Party started to talk about class struggle, we found that we had to start talking about some guns. If we never negated the fact that there was racism in America, but we said that when you, the by-product, what comes off of racism, that capitalism comes first and next is racism. That when they brought slaves over here, it was to take money. So first the idea came that we want to make money, then the slaves came in order to make that money. That means that capitalism had to, through historical fact, racism had to come from capitalism. It had to be capitalism first and racism was a by-product of that.

Anybody that doesn’t admit that is showing through their non-admittance and their non-participation in the struggle that all they are, are people who fail to make a commitment; and the only thing that they have going for them is the education that they receive in these institutions—education enough to teach them some alibis and teach them that you’ve gotta be black, and you’ve gotta change you name. And that’s crazy.

How about some Dr. King:

Attacked from both left and right, King was forced to rethink his career and the organization he led, the SCLC. "We must admit there was a limitation of our achievement in the South," he told a meeting of the SCLC board in 1967. SCLC would have to call for a "radical redistribution of wealth and power." On several occasions, King told his aides that the U.S. needed "democratic socialism" that would guarantee jobs and income for all.

Other SCLC leaders, such as Andrew Young, Jesse Jackson and Ralph Abernathy, were hostile to plans for the Poor People's March. The SCLC's Southern field offices had been neglected during an ill-fated attempt to organize against housing segregation in Chicago, and the group's Northern offices were even weaker.

Moreover, the plan clashed with the "Black capitalist" orientation of SCLC's Operation Breadbasket, directed by Jackson. "If you are so interested in doing your own thing that you can't do what the organization is structured to do, go ahead," King said in response to Jackson's criticism of the march. "If you want to carve out your own niche in society, go ahead, but for God's sake, don't bother me!"

“In a sense, you could say we’re involved in the class struggle."

Dr. King

Most liberals are the most racist people in the world. They literally just recognize brown people as the less fortunate and less intelligent... as opposed to understanding the racist systems in place that create those neighborhoods.

All of these huffpost and msnbc posters are filled with white guilt... But deep down they're racist.

Push comes to shove and none of them would give up their privilege for the sake of their so-called ideals.

Liberals have overplayed their hand when it comes to identity politics which has caused a backlash. Black liberals, in particular, have betrayed the cause of black people by allowing black issues to become muddled with "women's rights", "Gay rights" etc..

Think about how crazy this shyt is.

Black ppl's right to be treated like human beings = gay ppl's "right" to take d up the batty and get married = spoiled white women's right to earn as much as white men.. It completely trivialises the black cause.
