The modern US Democratic Party concerns itself far too much with bourgeois, mickey mouse issues such as who can be called xyz gender than with the bread and butter issues of the day - and they've paid for it yet again with yet another lost election. The average worker in the deindustrialised rustbelt is more concerned with how to return prosperity to the decades-long declining communities of Pennsylvania and West Virginia than in whatever trendy issues the wealthy chattering classes of gentrified Manhattan or the Hollywood Hills are nattering on about.
Continue to ignore / patronise the struggling working classes of Middle America and it'll be the same thing again in 2028, 2032... If the American electorate are concerned with their futures, along with those of their children due to open borders/ globalisation/ NAFTA etc - policies which benefit Corporate America and its search for ever cheaper manual labour it must be added - then put forth a damn presidential candidate who'll be willing to address those concerns, offering xyz solutions. The Democratic Party is supposed to be the working man's party after all.
Yes - sometimes working class issues offend the sensibilities of the bourgeois chattering classes...but it's the working man's vote which can and will break the back of the Democratic Party. Enough smugness already and get back to your roots - if it involves muttering the occasional impolite thing about China or Mexico then so be it.
