If Democrats and urban residents want to combat the rising tide of red that threatens to swamp and ruin this country, we need a new identity politics, an urban identity politics, one that argues for the cities, uses a rhetoric of urban values, and creates a tribal identity for liberals that's as powerful and attractive as the tribal identity Republicans have created for their constituents.

Followed by the non-beneficiaries of urban identity politics cutting off trade with American urban areas.

They already have that - it's called the Democratic Party. And its power is on the wane.
