<description><![CDATA[What is the difference between “identity politics” and central issues of oppression, inequity, or social change that relate to identities.  Is talking about racism identity politics and is calling out racial groups different than talking about racism? Can cultural discourse really be separated from politics or the efforts to access policy influence through politics? Is dismissing “identity politics” just another way to maintain White, male, upperclass privilege? Some central questions here, but you need to look beneath to find them because the interviewee thinks he already knows the answer. | article Election analysis, identity politics, political strategy]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Now is the time to refuse the blurring of memory….Now is not the time to tiptoe around historical references. Recalling Nazism is not extreme; it is the astute response of those who know that history gives both context and warning….Now is the time to counter lies with facts, repeatedly and unflaggingly, while also proclaiming the greater truths: of our equal humanity, of decency, of compassion. Every precious ideal must be reiterated, every obvious argument made, because an ugly idea left unchallenged begins to turn the color of normal. It does not have to be like this." | article Activism]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dan Rathers on this article: "Matthew Yglesiasof Vox has a very provocative and thought-provoking take that might strike many of his fellow progressives as counterintuitive. The case he is making is that authoritarian populist leaders abroad have been beaten by attacking their policies more than their personalities.... the Democrats would be better served getting out of the reality show mindset and try to push the debate into the realm of normal politics. This thesis is sure to be controversial amongst many who oppose Trump but I think the article is worth reading and discussing“  Personally, I think we need to not normalize the Trump agenda and policies, to call out the hate as extreme and outrageous, but I don’t think we should play to the character, which is just a way to feed the narcissism. | article Election analysis, informational, Election analysis]]></description>
