Everything is seen through the lens of identity politics.
Forget the fact that AOC is espousing hopelessly extreme, completely unworkable socialist positions.
No. Pelosi is pushing back against AOC because she doesn't like non-whites.
As expressed by Rep. Dan Crenshaw, "Madam Speaker, welcome to the true nature of identity politics - where you're accused of being racist for no reason at all, and where intellectually lazy insults are used against you as a way to replace substantive debate of your argument or idea."
In the same way, when you build a movement based on identity politics, which by nature divides, you cannot expect to cultivate unity.
Ironically, presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg recently condemned President Trump's alleged embrace of "Peak white identity politics," claiming that such politics are "Designed to drive apart people with common interests."
He made these comments at "a fundraiser in Las Vegas for the LGBTQ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign," one of the classic examples of an organization based on identity politics.
