The Dems will **** it up and play to identity politics as usual.....because Biden actually stands a chance against Trump...but he’d be another “old white guy”.

The idea of Democrats playing “identity” politics is kind of laughable. The Republican party is, after all, a party dominated by straight, white males... only straight, white males. There are no women in leadership positions. There are no minorities in leadership... heck, there are only a handful of Republican women and minorities in Washington, period. If ever there were a party playing identity politics, its the party that’s pushed everyone but SWM’s else out.

Ever notice how liberals accuse non-liberals as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., but are the very same lot that bring up these topics all the time in various ways. ALL THE TIME. It's an obsession for them. If I had a dollar for every time a lib says, "a bunch of old white guys" or some variation I'd be able to retire and move to the Bahamas. Heck, now you have a congresswoman from Minnesota calling out the Jewish nation.

92% of Republicans in Congress are male
94% of Republicans in Congress are white
91% of Republicans are Christians
100% of the Republicans in Congress are straight
Democratic numbers are a bit more reflective of the country.
62% are male... national number is 49%
62% are white... national number is 72%
73% of Democrats in Congress identify as Christians... national number is 69%
96% identified as “straight”... national number is 95%
One party is focused on appealing to an increasingly smaller piece of the demographic, and its not Democrats.

So pointing out that a bunch of old white guys are creating policies and rhetoric that is hostile to minorities and women is racist/sexist/homophobic? Calling someone out for saying racist/sexist stuff is not racist/sexist.

100% of Republican congressmen are not straight, that I can tell you.
