Identity politics is the wave of the future, according to Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams , who lost her 2018 race for governor but still insists, "We won."
"I would argue that identity politics is exactly who we are, and it's exactly how we won," she said during at event held by the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C, Fox News reported.
Do you agree with Stacey Abrams that identity politics is good?
0%. 100%. Abrams said the use of identity politics, despite ridicule by its opponents, is essential in a diverse electorate.
"The notion of identity politics has been peddled for the last 10 years, and it's been used as a dog whistle to say that we shouldn't pay too much attention to the new voices coming into progress," Abrams said.
Abrams said she is concerned that as Democrats look to 2020, not all of them share her view on identity politics.
One of those downplaying identity politics is Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and a candidate for the White House in 2020.
