One of the terms I see with regularity in the liberal progressive blogosphere is someone writing a comment decrying 'identity politics'.
After slamming the term, they will then make the case that if identity politics didn't exist, our country would be a better place or whatever point they are trying to make at that time..
News flash, people. All politics in the United States are identity politics, and that reality of American life ain't going away any time soon.
