228: The intersectional coalition and the Democratic Party

<p>P&C drink and review BMore Sour from Oliver Brewing, then discuss the intersectional coalition.</p> <p>"Intersectionality" is the complex cumulative way in which multiple forms of discrimination combine or intersect. It seems to turn "being a victim" on its head. People vie to have more victim boxes to check so they can be more oppressed and therefore -- in a peculiar way -- have more power.</p> <p>Along with these categories is the assumption that people who check the same boxes have the same lived experiences and therefore the same opinions.</p> <p>The Democratic Party seems to have abandoned its traditional base and has adopted something like this intersectional coalition as its new foudnation. Will it work? Does this intersectional coalition have enough in common to stay together?</p>
