    Why the fuck do we care about identity? Put the best people in the job. Period. I couldn't care less what their sex, race, religion, creed or sexual orientation is.

    We always had identity politics in this country. The identity was white, male, Protestant, heterosexual (at least publicly) and upper class. No one called it identity politics because, you know, white male Protestant heterosexual upper class was seen as "normal". The way it's supposed to be. It's only when other folks start showing up that we hear "HOW TERRIBLE! IDENTITY POLITICS!"

    I don't vote for a candidate based on his/her ethnicity, religion or lack thereof, gender, sexual orientation, etc. I vote for the person with whom I most agree. But I do like the fact that not EVERYONE in a position of power looks like what is an increasingly small minority of the country.

    I think this sums it up perfectly. It's not a need, it's more like... the statistics of our society should be roughly reflected in the congress.

    I think we need to have representatives that show a good cross section of the population . . . including old white men.

    There is a lot more to people than resumes. Different life experiences can add just as much if not more to a political debate as someone with a "pedigree"

    yeah but you can have infinitely different life experiences as a hindu buddhist lesbian...rich immigrants that cant speak english, a poor american family living in the sudan, a physicist with parents that cook meth, etc

    obviously i get your point though
