You have such an important voice. Please stay with it.

I put “identity politics” in the same bucket as “entitlement reform.” Terms coined to re-frame/de-position rational solutions. And I still can’t quite figure out how we can address economic and wealth inequality without also talking about collective inequality. Which leads to my final thought, I didn’t read the piece on Dems moving center for multiple reasons not the least of which I see the direction of importance to be up/down rather than left/center/right. I.e., we have a huge economic inequality challenge. Those of us who are in or deeply care about this vast and economically disadvantaged pool of voters should be preaching the gospel of joining forces not pandering to one segment by ignoring their sisters and brothers who do not look or talk like them.
