1. "One wonders how much familiarity with a Senate candidate's nipples voters are expected to have."

"The notion that the Democratic Party is losing because it has been too feminized ... catering too much to women, and being insufficiently deferential to domineering, gruff, physically imposing and implicitly white, rural men, the party ... lost voters they most need to recruit: that is, the working class, imagined here, as they so frequently are, as brusque, bigoted, ignorant, vulgar and male."

Majority of low-wage workforce are female, of course, and the U.S. manufacturing jobs began disappearing from the '70s, yet Democrats are bashed by populists stuck in the '60s for somehow ignoring the imaginary majority of coal mining factory working men who shower at the end of the day and yearn for class revolution. Ridiculous.

5. Yes! Democrats criticized for "identity politics," being educated elites, weak, not have a strong (manly?) message,

not fighting and yelling enough (mocked for strongly worded letters) etc. -- too feminized? Thanks for posting it!

8. Identity politics is a RW talking point

Which is ironic considering how republicans pander to white Christian straight voters.
