View submission: Queer perspectives on identity politics

View parent comment

I've been hearing it in discussions with people who identity as being on the left, that "identity politics" is being used to appear socially progressive by the institutions like the Dems, but actually not progress things which would improve the material reality of marginalised people's lives.

Catherine Liu talks about it quite a bit. Similar take to the brocialists from the other comment I guess.

Yeah, that’s kind of the nature of partisans.

They are using it wrong. What they seem to want to say is that representation is not enough.
