Democrats’ post-election autopsy boils down to a battle between ideas and identities.
At this point, it’s safe to say that Nimrata Randhawa has a far, far better chance to be the first female president of the United States than Hillary Clinton. But here’s the question: When or if Nimrata (she goes by “Nikki”) — a conservative, Indian-American daughter of immigrants who married Michael Haley, became governor of South Carolina, and is now the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — wins a presidential election, will Hillary’s friends and supporters hail Haley’s ascension to the White House as a tremendous achievement for women? Will the fans of intersectional feminism laud the ultimate success of a woman of color?
Not likely. At this point, we all know the drill. There is one way and one way only for women — especially black or brown women — to take a true step forward, and that’s through progressive politics. Identity politics works like this: Progressives do everything in their power to explicitly and unequivocally stoke race- and gender-related resentments and grievances. Any pushback against identity politics is labeled denialism at best and racism or sexism at worst. Progressive ideas are so self-evidently superior that opposition is best explained as grounded in misogyny or the always-reliable “fear of change.” Opposition, even from women and even from people of color, is proof of the awful and enduring power of sexism and white supremacy....

A little off topic but a week after the last 88 THOUSAND dollar fundraiser this website STILL runs like a cold sick dog running up hill during February at the North Pole.
This happens dang near every time...so it makes one wonder if ANY $$ goes to upgrading the system!(That is a rhetorical statement)
will Hillary’s friends and supporters hail Haley’s ascension to the White House as a tremendous achievement... ................................... Invest heavily in Safety Pin stock if Haley wins.
Linkee no workee.
There’s a light side ?
Bkmk
I would love to see a video of the election night Hillary. I know they were recording it up until the point they realized they were losing. Then they probably destroyed the evidence. I heard as the night progressed the inner circle quickly dispersed for fear of being in the line of fire.
Nimrata Randhawa has a far, far better chance to be the first female president

I won’t be voting for her. She is not a natural born citizen, both of her parents were Indian nationals when she was born and if they had taken her back to India , she would be too.
That ship sailed in 2008.
Just give us a qualified president....
Gender, race, religion, education..... discounted
And masks sure its not a clintoon or a bushie ....
Please Lord...
May be, but I don’t vote for ineligible candidates, so don’t nominate any if you want my vote.
I don’t vote for somebody just because they are someone’s daughter.
She’s natural born, unlike Ted Cruz
Children of foreign nationals inherit their parent’s nationality, Cruz, Rubio, Haley, George P. Bush, Kamala Harris and others all are ineligible because of their foreign national parent(s).
Born here of citizen parents is what makes one a natural born citizen.
Ted Cruz is eligible if Nimrata is.
Ted Cruz wasn’t born in the USA
