The Democratic Party, through figures like Obama, employs identity politics which often targets specific demographics, shaming them into compliance rather than addressing their real concerns.
In Pittsburgh, Obama criticized black men for lacking 'energy,' suggesting that disinterest in Kamala Harris's campaign was tied to an aversion to female leadership.
Shaming tactics employed by the Democratic elite, like those from Obama, push individuals away from the party by ignoring genuine issues faced by their constituents.
The feeling of being used only for demographic representation instead of being valued for individual choice has pushed some, including this writer, to seek political independence.
