A left wing rejection of Hillary's " identity politics "

   There is negative " leftist " slant on increasingly fatuous " political correctness. As a critical supporter of Democrat Bernie Sanders- who just shocked the complacent with his win over Hillary Clinton in Michigan-I am annoyed by Hillary's " identity politics " .

   The neo-Democrats are oh so exquisitely " politically correct " but do nothing for ordinary Americans on the more serious issue of unacceptable economic inequality.

     I see " socialist " Bernie" as really just a refreshing return to New Deal liberalism - with its emphasis on economic justice.

     After Michigan the American plutocracy will also start referring to Bernie Sanders as " that man ".

     Soon the political establishments will start associating Bernie with Stalin and Republican  conservative Trump with Hitler.

      Trump is a victim of a hypocritical smear campaign-as if right wing Republicans are now smitten by the bug of " political correctness ".

     Nasty " political correctness " has made itself a menace to religious freedom. It is almost obsessively hostile toward the Catholic Church. It has nothing in common with the compassionate spirit of Pope Francis and " progressive " Catholic social philosophy.

      So my point is this : there is rejection of nasty " political correctness " on the left too.
