Maybe they could use that to come together.
You mean like people from the KKK being Republican and people from the BP being Democrat? Does identity politics mean that you lean a certain way politically because of the group you are in?
To a certain extent.
Lets see now.
Imagine I am a white, Christian fundamentalist from the far south of the USA who is not that fond of other races, who would you think I would be most likely to vote for?
Is it more likely I would be democrat or republican?
So based on his identity you would have a good idea who he would vote for.
I think is probably the result of the lack of choice in a two party system.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
