The Democrats abandoned the working class to create a ‘Grievance Olympics’ obsessed with identity politics
Opinion by Gary L. Francione • 15h

I’m done with the Democrats.

I voted for Kamala Harris — but left the party I’d belonged to for decades after witnessing its unhinged reaction to the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, as I explained in these pages last month.

The Democratic position on transgender rights is part of a larger problem: the Democratic embrace of being “woke.”
 
To be woke means to accept without question the claims of the myriad identity groups that demand special treatment.

The Democrats were once the party of working people and unions. They were committed to bridging the gap between rich and poor. The Dems sought practical solutions. They focused on class. Now they seem to focus on every characteristic except class.

As long as there is some quid pro quo in the matrix, the union bosses will keep doin' bid'ness with the Dems. Obviously, the deal for the others was to hire only from the rainbow ranks, regardless of who was most qualified.

The rest of us, the vast majority of Americans are weary of this dreck.
