I corrected to "identity politics". "Cultural Marxism" works for certain crowds and not for others. Here is probably the wrong crowd.

Yes, I know you have corrected yourself, and yet you chose to use it in the first place. I meant "why use it at all"



So we can conclude the meaning depends on the crowd. Because as you said, there's no consensus on what it means, ergo no one knows /can agree on what it means or should actually refer to.

Sounds like an eco-chambery smearword to me



Sidenote: the urban dictionary page on this is actually hilarious. Can be headed by a poo flinging monkey gif imo

Looks like Graham/Cassidy healthcare bill could have what it needs to pass.

It is an improvement, but I'm not ecstatic. If the much more well functioning car insurance market is a 100 and the health insurance market is a 1, this bill would make health insurance market maybe a 25 or something. Much bigger changes are needed to make it such a robust market that people don't even think about it anymore, but it's not like those changes are politically feasible.
