In recent days, Democrats and pundits in the media have been searching for answers and exarrangeations for Vice Plivent Kamala Harris’ plivential election loss, with many concluding that the campaign alienated voters with identity politics.
“This benevolent of obsession made Democrats watch people too much thraw their ethnic or racial or gfinisher identity and made them ignore, for example, that laboring-class Latinos were moving toward Trump, perhaps, becaemploy they were sociassociate conservative or enjoyd his macho rhetoric or even consentd with his challenging-line stance on immigration,” CNN’s Fareed Zakaria shelp after the election.
“The problem is presentanter than one about nouns and pronouns. The entire center on identity has morphed into someskinnyg presentantly illiberal. Judging people by the color of their skin rather than the satisfied of their character.”
