We miss a lot. When we think about these things in the heat of battle. The Gender are Race card is a plea for understanding and a sharing of victimhood. Based on some deep-seated and real concerns. All politicians use stories of people to highlight points and policy it makes it real and tangible. When they can use their own story so much better because it makes that connection. But when they can use their story and connect it to a sense of victimization they make that connection even stronger and gives people a sense of knowing they will fight for them.
