It's an interesting piece but since it was a Democratic primary, I'm not sure how this gets extrapolated to 2020 contests against Republicans.
Both the Republicans and the Dems seem in turmoil to me. I think both would do well to track back toward the center.That party is lost and in the midst of an identity crisis. Fortunately for them, so is much of this country.
recovering from one of the worst presidents in human history.
Identity politics causes separation. Most Americans, regardless of political beliefs, wish for unity.
They had the smarts to push the majority identity though.
My idea of comedy is someone complaining that George W. Bush is one of the worst presidents in human history.Is this your idea of comedy?
for now. that is changing rather quickly

LOL the people who believe there is a white genocide and go to rallies and chant "you will not replace us" accuse everyone else of "identity politics".
Just LOL
Yeah, that was the whole point of all the SSM ballot initiatives. Key part of Rove's strategy. It's weird how that's all been memory-holed.
I didn't say anything about "shutting the media up". I wrote a post outlining how they should be held to account for deliberately writing untruths with malicious intent.
This is already one of our laws. I can see that you think it's acceptable for press bodies to accuse people of belonging to concrete movements despite the lack of any affiliation (and in spite of verbal disavowal as was the case with Bannon).
You can report it on schedule C, which is profit and loss from a business (sole proprietorship). If you sell drugs for example you just report your sales, cost of goods, other expenses, etc. and you're taxed on the profits.I like technical, so no worries.
How do you tax things that are illegal? Honest question.
And while I am aware that you are required to report all forms of income, it would seem a bit of a catch 22 to report income on a Federal form that was derived from Federally illegal sources, as in a kind of admission of partaking in illegal activities.
Regardless of whether or not the Feds would look the other way as to the source of income, I suspect the main contention is that it remains difficult to audit a business that does not utilize a bank account and/or electronic payments, as you are simply relying on the records of the business owner.
While I'm not an accountant, my mother was, so I've had a little exposure to it and tax prep. over the years, in addition to doing the accounting for my own (unrelated) business now.
But you're falling way short of making the case that that racism is as big if not more of a problem on the left and that it's really moving the politics in an ugly direction overall for Democrats
Worlds dumbest talking point, congrats.To be fair, it was the Democratic party that gave the world the KKK.
I think as that changes we may see whites as an ethnic group function politically much more like a bloc in the way African-Americans do now. We are deciding now what we want the country to look like when we hit that transition point to a non-majority ethnic pluralism. Right now, seems like much of the left wants some sort of racial spoils system. It' s possible that it isn't much of the left, just a noisy minority, but that seems unclear to me. As irritating and divisive as racial identity politics can be now, it will be a disaster once there is no longer a racial majority.
Ok, but I don't see how that bit of history is relevant to this discussion, though.To be fair, it was the Democratic party that gave the world the KKK.
