Yglesias argues that the Democratic Party's adherence to identity politics led to questionable decisions like selecting Kamala Harris as VP in 2020, despite her weak candidacy.
He believes that reliance on identity-based decisions may hinder the party's electoral strategy, as seen in their choice to overlook candidates with stronger track records.
Yglesias criticizes the perception that requesting strategic retirements from influential women justifies identity politics, emphasizing that such obsessions could have detrimental effects.
He expresses concern that while identity politics can lead to unwise choices, it's unclear what the long-term impact of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus's actions regarding Sotomayor might be.
