    It is trivial, but at the same time, this issue is a cultural flashpoint, extremely politicized, and also potentially a vote winner/loser. It’s very unfortunate.

    I’m not sure what the answer is, but the US just voted for a neo-fascist regime, and some of these cultural/identity issues may have played a role in that.

    It’s a tightrope, for sure.

    All I can say for sure is that whatever the Dems were doing didn’t and won’t work moving forward. Whether it’s true or not, the perception of the democratic party seems to be that they care more about identity than everyday issues. For everyone’s sake, it might be time that they attempted to change that perception.
