A whole lot of the way identity politics has gone seems to me to deny empathy.
The joy with which we denigrate each others' efforts, I hate that.
We spend countless hours talking about people's feelings and issues that aren't going to change anything.
I saw great hope in the Sanders campaign - a flawed candidate, not perfect, but pretty damn close. Millions of young people were inspired by him.
People's lives can be transformed by the movement.
Any social movement that seeks to benefit only its own members I think is a shallow movement and probably doomed to failure.
