Dem Congresswoman: Democratic Party Has ‘Become Identity Politics’ (controversial, Clinton, Hispanic)

[dashrendar4454]

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D., Mich.) said Wednesday on MSNBC that she is "very concerned" that identity politics have hijacked the Democratic Party.

"We've become this identity politics. The Women's Caucus, the Black Caucus, the Hispanic Caucus," Dingell said.

"We've lost the sense of ‘we,' that our strength comes in community," Dingell continued.

Dingell said she is not a traditional Democrat, and felt that Trump won the election by talking about the issues Democrats "were afraid to talk about."

guessing like Jim Webb, many liberals will hate on her and call her a Republican in disguise

I agree with her. She actually begged Clinton to come to MI during the campaign. She saw the writing on the wall there, and nobody listened to her.

Why would they hate her... that's not even controversial. Democrats are identity politics. Now blaming IP might bring down some heat.

But Jim Webb was a Republican for 30 years of his political life.

And Why do you have a problem with us saying Dingell is wrong ????

Well yes it has. But so has the Republican Party. Trumpism is identity politics.
