Democrats are going crazy over the Georgia 6th District Special Election loss that saw their candidate Jon Ossoff get destroyed by GOP candidate Karen Handel.
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell surprised even me by calling out Democrats for how the party plays on identity politics to win. When asked by a Washington Post reporter if identity politics was taking over the Democratic Party, Dingell replied, “I am very concerned that that is what’s happening.”
Dingell has been watching her party do this for years but never said anything about it until now. Since she’s calling them out, that means she could make a few enemies in her party. Do I care about it? No. I love watching the Democrats eat their own. Here’s the full story:

Dingell told The Washington Post that she doesn’t know where she fits in the scope of the Democratic Party.
“Sometimes I don’t feel like I belong in any of the little different caucuses, but I am proud Democrat who was sent here to represent the working men and women of my district,” she said.
“It sounds like you think that identity politics have sort of hijacked the party,” Melvin said.
“I am very concerned that that is what’s happening,” Dingell responded. “We are forgetting that our strength comes in being ‘we,’ all of us coming together.”
Dingell said that Democrats will “keep losing” until they dropped the identity politics.
“I believe that Donald Trump won the election because of trade issues,” she said.
Melvin asked Dingell if she will switch parties. Dingell would not directly answer the question, until prompted by the host again.
“I’m not switching parties,” Dingell said. “Let’s not make news today.”

Dingell isn’t going to leave her party because she loves mental abuse. But since she’ll remain quiet, her party will never change. The Democrats might shift a few things here and there but they will always go back to what they know, and that is identity politics. They used to be good at it, but with the election of Donald Trump, the nation has awakened to see what’s really going on with Washington and they don’t like what they see.
Do you think Democrats will listen to Dingell or will they shut her down and keep on with their political blueprint of failure? Share your opinion below in the comments section and add this article to your Facebook/Twitter timeline.
