10. "Identity Politics" eh? Sadly, I have heard that familiar admonition before.

I'm sick of it! Sick to death of it! Everyone knows what it means. It's the phrase used by racists and misogynists and homophobes (and by every other -ist or -phobe you can name) to try and excuse their "-ist" or "-phobic" behavior. They're ignoring reality. They're protecting their own. They're covering their asses. They're saying that we don't matter and that in-due-time everything will take-care-of-itself if we just wait for it to trickle-down.

It's total bullshit no matter WHICH party does it. It needs to stop.
