This is vague and talking point-y

> people who convinced them that culture wars were the right way to do battle

Who are they exactly?

> The dem leadership focused on issues that polled well with a small group of loud people on a crusade, and largely ignored bread & butter issues that resonate with people less politically inclined

Which issues, specifically?

> centrist votes

You think there’s some huge swath people who’d vote Dem if it wasn’t for their pesky (and incredibly mild) protective stance towards trans people, for example?

Honestly curious which sources do you get your political news from mainly?
