In a Time magazine column the other day, Joe Klein scolded the Democrats for
being overly preoccupied with identity politics. In its admirable drive to
be inclusive, he argued, the party has treated its constituents not as a
population united by common ideals and interests, but as an array of
caucuses to be pandered to: African-Americans, gays, Latinos, women, youth
and so on. Klein wrote that “if I’m a plain old white insurance salesman,
I look at the Democratic Party and say, What’s in it for me?”
The Republicans have exactly the opposite problem: they seem to be going out
of their way to make their party inhospitable to everyone but that plain
old white insurance salesman. They have alienated the majority of women and
the vast majority of blacks. The fraction of young voters who call
themselves Republican has been shrinking for 20 years, to about one in three
. The Republicans are repelling the surging Latino electorate by making
themselves the party of police checks, higher fences, English-only-spoken-
here and self-deportation.
And that insurance salesman had better not be gay. The Republicans have
enshrined the status of homosexuals as second-class citizens in the party
platform. At their convention in Tampa, the Republicans attempted a show of
ethnic and gender diversity. But as my colleague Frank Bruni pointed out,
gays and lesbians were denied even that token pageantry. | y****t 发帖数: 10233 | 2 let's get it straight, fags...
