I hope we would all politicize his.

Generalizing loses the argument. As a Democrat, I want to win elections and "identity" doesn't seem to work. I don't care to be identified as "powerful" because you and I may disagree.

"Our party" is a joke and needs to be reconstituted behind a coherent ideology, even if it means minority status for a long time. The only form of government that works, however, is a multi-party parliamentary system.
