I read he complained about "woke" a lot.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 5 days ago

Idk what's more woke that offing a CEO.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Heart attacks have probably killed more CEOs than anything, but I wouldn't call them woke.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Not offing CEO

[-] SlothMama@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

I complain about Woke a lot and I'm a dyed in the wool leftist to be fair. There's a broader spectrum of opinion out there.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

*on american scale. Most american lefists wouldn't look out of place in russian coalition of right forces.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago

What I read is his friends identified him as economically leftist, but took issue with identity politics

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

Which depending on context could be as simple as "I dont care ill mind my own business you mind yours." which I suspect is what most folks opinions boil down to.

Identity politics will be the downfall of democracy if Democrats don't stop that bullshit

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

The problem with that is that oppression injustice, and inequity are often based on a person‘s identity

[-] Argonne@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Still do it, just don't base your entire platform on it. It's not that hard to understand but most democrat politicians can't

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Agreed there, democrats continue to refuse to challenge their economic masters and try to use identity politics as a sop

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Why do you blame Democrats for identity politics and not Republicans for passing laws based on identity politics?

[-] Argonne@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Because that's what Republican voters want and that's enough for them. They vote on spite and hate and the GOP feeds them it

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 4 days ago

I don't believe that the democrats actually based their entire platform on identity politics. That's more a right wing issue, in that they have an issue with the existence of certain groups of people.

I don't remember seeing a trans person as a speaker at any of the rallies for the DNC, for instance.
