I 100% agree that our country has devolved in a way that the vast majority of voters do not vote for their ACTUAL best interests financially.

But, I agree with Newsome that getting into culture wars is a problem because of that.

You can be resolute in standing up for the most vulnerable without making it easier for Rs to drone on about the culture bullshit.

And, find a way to SIMPLY make economic priorities. Gotta get general talking points that can be easier adapted by the "average" american.
