Guaranteed outcome is a red herring. No one believes that’s a good idea.

I suspect that the overwhelming tide in contemporary politics is both for and against identity politics. In a just world , identity politics would be a sideshow and we’d be fighting over whether we should be for equality of opportunity or equality of outcome.

In this world it’s the main event. Sigh.

I guess it’s the details that can be debated.
