Newsom's message to the Democratic Party: Be more 'culturally normal' (CNN)

56. I get what he is saying

Less focus on identity politics during the election cycle. More bread and butter politics in order to win. We can help the disenfranchised minorities better once we hold power. It sucks, but that's how the Dems are being forced to play the game. Unfortunately, the Republicans will tie identity politics around our necks like anvils no matter what. Profess any type of empathy for the Trans community? "Whaaa, the Dems want transgender women to compete in women's sports". Oppose the nazi goon tactics of ICE? "Whaaa, the Dems want open borders and lawless illegals to collect all of our tax money and commit crimes while they cash their welfare checks".

So what is the solution here? If we want to win in order to change the way the game is played, do we have to play their game? I honestly don't know, but I can understand both sides.
