“You bring up identity politics and I think that this is really causing a divide in the American left where we're rallying too much around identities. We should celebrate our heritage, we should organize by identity, but we shouldn't advocate and push for certain identities. We shouldn't talk about women suffrage, or plight of Muslims, or refugees; we should talk about our common American values.” ThinkingValuesCommonIdentityCelebrateOrganizeRefugeeSuffrageAmerican Values Author:Sam Rasoul

“What happens with identity politics sometimes is there's a competition among the oppressed: You're more oppressed than me and if not, then unfortunately you may not receive as much attention. What we need to do is make sure we're focusing on what our core American values are, and ensure that everyone feels as though we are in this together.” SometimesTogetherValuesAttentionIdentityCompetitionOppressedAmerican Values Author:Sam Rasoul
