so, briefly, i don’t believe that warren acts in the service of ethnicity but of equality. however that drive towards equality, whichh must address racial and gender disparities, is being cast as “identity politics” by those who would oppose her
does it count as “identity politics” to oppose jeff sessions as attorney general based on his atrocious civil rights record?

only if it’s convenient to your cause to call it so
who really hates her and wants her head on a pike is wall street. she wants to muzzle them, and they don’t like it.
the rest of the haters are just white voters heeding the dog whistle to act (again and again and again) against their own economic interests
e.g., the antiintellectuals and uneducated will resent her for being a harvard professor.
the misogynists, for being a woman
the evangelicals, for her defense of reproductive freedom
the gun righters, for her wanting to limit magazine capacities to 10
the racist goobers, for her daring to read a letter about jeff sessions in the senate
other racists because she said (correctly) that the american justice system is racist front to back
etc.etc.,
see. the right also practices intersectional politics
they just call it something else
