California Governor Gavin Newsom sits down with CNN’s Dana Bash to talk about the future of the Democratic Party. He says the party should be “less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity politics. More focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter — the stacking of stress in terms of the electricity bills and childcare costs and health care and obviously housing costs.”
I don’t remember a Democrat mentioning LGBT issues since Biden said there were at least 3 genders. Is he talking about their most popular AOC and Mamdandi or something? They don’t want to soullessly emulate the people who get votes?
Technically they do want to soullessly emulate the people who get votes. They saw how Mamdani got elected on emphasizing affordability issues and now Newsome and his ilk want to glom onto that messaging without actually offering actual solutions to those issues.

There’s a bitter humor in “okay, Mamdani got traction with affordability rhetoric… Let’s see…”
“TRANS ISSUES DON’T MATTER TO POOR PEOPLE!”
