Identity Politics

Identity Politics

All our problems we will fix
with identity politics.
Power to the under-powered.
Vote, revolt, don’t be a coward!

Who we’ll vote for? Quickly, choose:
females, blacks, Latinos, Jews,
Asians, penguins, even whales!
(Anything but old white males.)

Talents? Skills? Don’t make me grin.
We shall vote by color of skin
Do the candidates have breasts?
Yes? Well, then they passed our tests.

Let me give you my one cent:
When voting for government
choose the ones who’re qualified
and which acted bona fide.

Vote by “who” and not by “what”.
Vote by brain, and yes, by gut.
Female, male, black, or white
You must make the choice that’s right.

Here’s another comic about identity politics.

Now go to bed, grown ups are talking.
