Don ' t worry , it ' s all 100 % BS . At least the part about the pizza place . Who knows about the politicians , but the pizza place is not a fucking front for a child sex ring <| sep |> No i jeszcze rudy jest . <| sep |> I mean sure , if you define identity politics as civil rights at the beginning of your article , then I guess it means civil rights to you . But that ' s not how it ' s been used as a word , and now you ' re arguing against a point that nobody was making . Of course civil rights are on Sander ' s agenda and that of the Democrats as a whole . Just look at his track record , what he campaigned for , and his taking input from organizations like BLM . Taking a quote out of context to make it seem like he thinks being a woman is a worthless qualification for office is disingenuous . The full sentence he says is talking about how we need to find diverse leaders who are women and POC that have a strong platform and are well prepared for office ostensibly including Clinton . Basically , he was saying that we want diversity , and we need these candidates to be strong people who are ready to show that anybody can be right for the job . To draw a comparison , if I say Obama is a socialist because I define socialism as his set of policies , then I guess he ' s a socialist to me , but that doesn ' t really change anything what I can say against him . I can ' t go from there to argue against Obama creating a communist state . Just because I said he was my version of a socialist doesn ' t mean he actually has plans to seize the means of production . That ' s absurd . I would argue that an analogous type of argument is being made here against Sanders and the alt left buzz word nonsense the author is trying to fight against . You want to talk about perceptions of tokenism fine , but don ' t dress it up as an attack on civil rights by liberals . We ' re trying to fight for your side of this argument .
