Frida Ghitis: Neoliberal identity politics used to undermine human solidarities and divide the Left .

She says it was a way of undermining a robust, effective class politics.

Ghitis says the prim, hectoring moralism of neoliberal identity politics is largely gone.

Ghits: Even with a Democratic presidential candidate of many history-making identities, Democrats and the media now realize that firsts aren’t enough to win elections.

Ruben Navarrette : It's been grotesque to see so many apologists of mass murder attempt to seize moral high ground with microaggression.

He says the oldest form of identity politics is racism, and that’s not going away anytime soon.

He asks: The Left moving on from the culture war while the Right remains mired in it would only be good news for our political prospects.
