Left isn’t going to win young men until they give up or modernize their identity politics. It’s not the 70s anymore. Young men have been falling behind for over a decade at this point, and it’s been completely ignored.
I think the point of the article is that ostracizing/disenfranchising young men hasn’t worked so far. Doubling down on that may not change future voting behavior
You seem to be asking a leading question where you assume they’re against identity politics when they actually said they need to modernize their identity politics.
This implies it’s something bad, either entirely or in it’s current form. But i’ve never heard two people use the term in the same way, I’ve never heard anyone define it, and I’ve never seen anyone defend its use.

Pushing people away will never work, but it’s going to take a lot more than just stopping to ostracize them.
What do think “identity politics” is?
Sociological reductionism. Intersectionality was invented to overcome it but, so far, hasn’t actually done so.

No it doesn’t. It implies only what it says, that their specific use of identity politics is out of date.
