Dem primary voters this year are beyond boring and quota-filling. It's annoying.

Not nearly as annoying as your posts though. Then again, what is more annoying than that?

My posting style doesn't change the fact that Dem primary voters are dumber than a bag of rocks to play into identity politics over actual substance and accomplishments (AOC is an exception because she has the correct opinions).

Pressley is going to be one of the most liberal representatives in the country though.

Also, it’s not a good look to complain about a minority-majority district “playing into identities politics.”

I'd hate to side with hofoid, but a majority minority district voting based on race pretty much IS the definition of "identity politics". And the idea that its not OK for a white person to represent such a district is no better than attacking the idea of a non-white person representing a majority white district.

That said this will have zero impact on partisan elections anywhere.

I’m not saying white people shouldnt be allowed to represent a minority-majority seat. What I am saying is that it’s stupid to whine about “IDENTITY POLITICS” when racial minorities vote to be represented by their own.
