Democrats are using identity politics again to test the waters for a ballot replacement for Joe Biden instead of finding a candidate with bona fide qualifications — and integrity.
Michelle Obama is being touted a possible candidate who could beat Donald Trump.
She was recently publicized as an executive producer of a Netflix fiction movie, along with husband Barack.
There was not much of the old Obama hopey-changey messaging in her anti-white Netflix endeavor, however, which left identity politics as her selling point with voters.

Per the academic definition, identity politics is a Marxist tactic of assigning utmost societal importance to a candidate’s empowerment of a collective, victimized group such as women, or minorities.
Anyone opposing the victim-candidate is immediately labeled as suppressing the entire representative group. For example, people who opposed presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton were labeled as anti-women or misogynists, just as those who criticized Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 were called racist.
Identity politics has pulverized Dr. Martin Luther King’s Jr.’s dream of Americans judging others by the “content of their character instead of the color of their skin” in choosing a candidate.
Meanwhile, collectivism is a fundamental element of totalitarian ideology.
As a result, political candidate selection that should embrace American individualism and Dr. King’s character-content theory is now surpassed by identity politics.
But individualism and integrity as candidate-qualifiers have not worked out well for Democrats.
For example, in Hillary Clinton’s case, her entire 2016 campaign was dependent on identity politics and Democrats’ collective yearning to elevate women with a first woman president.
But, Clinton’s integrity was defined by such moments as being caught on tape nervously laughing about winning a case for a 41-year old rapist of a 12 year-old girl, and her soulless, exasperated, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” remark regarding her part in terrorists’ 2012 murders of a U.S. ambassador and three embassy employees in Benghazi, Libya shortly before President Obama’s 2012 re-election.
