political identity privilege

The idea that an individual being a supporter of the Republicans or Democrats can give that individual more power and influence than an individual who is a supporter of a nonmainstream political party or an individual who practices political neutrality, because of the fact that most people will be more likely to respect, listen to, and value the opinion of an individual is a supporter of the Republicans or Democrats than an individual who is a supporter of a nonmainstream political party or an individual who practices political neutrality.
Kenny: I heard that Britany had a disagreement with Dylan because some views of his views about climate change didn’t entirely match the views held by her and certain Democratic leaders. They both believe that climate change is occurring, but, because his views didn’t match her views, she refused to even hear him out as to why he held those views and kept shooting down his ideas as to why climate change was occurring.
Isabell: I know that Britany is very strong supporter of the Democratic party and that Dylan is a supporter of the Green Rainbow Party. Britany doesn’t respect of people’s views on political issues unless the individual is a Democrat. A lot of people listen to what she has to say on various political issues, but they seldom listen to what Dylan has to say.
Kenny: Agreed. It sounds like Britany and some other people’s political identity privilege is showing.

Focusing Event

An event that draws the public and or government’s attention to or away from a particular issue
The impeachment trial of President Trump in December of 2019 drew attention to the issue of corruption in the U.S. government, while at the same time it drew attention away from a massive cyber attack that shut down all of New Orleans’s municipal government websites, which would have drawn the public’s attention to the danger of cyber-attacks on the government. It is an example of a focusing event.

Buddy the German Shepherd

The first dog in the United States to get Coronavirus; and was the first one to die of it. The circumstances were very tragic, not only because this was first dog to get it, but because it took multiple visits to three different veterinarians to find one who would test the dog for Covid-19. By the time Buddy's family got answers about what he had from the New York and Federal governments, one month had passed since the dog initially got sick. What should have taken about two to three weeks took a month to complete. He is a victim of the systematic Speciesism that tends to be quite prevalent in the U.S. government and the two mainstream political parties.
Buddy the German Shepherd is famous victim of systematic Speciesism that facilitated the spread of Covid-19. Just a question: Why hasn't Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Andrew Cuomo said anything about this? They should do something about this.
