The Clintons have arrived in my territory.
"In an interview with the Financial Times, the former secretary of state and presidential candidate agreed with reporter Edward Luce that Democrats are sabotaging themselves by focusing on the wrong issues.
'Democrats seem to be going out of their way to lose elections by elevating activist causes, notably the transgender debate, which are relevant only to a small minority,' Luce said, 'What sense does it make to depict JK Rowling as a fascist?'
The former first lady and 2016 presidential candidate didn't dispute Luce's assertion, and answered: 'We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy, and everything that everybody else cares about then goes out the window.
'Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority.'"
If you push the agenda of minorities too hard, you lose elections. And you can't afford to lose the next few elections if you want to have a democracy. Especially because your AG is woefully slow-moving in addressing Trump.
The Dems desperately need a strategy which appeals to the majority of Americans. That is, people who work hard, want to keep the bulk of what they earn, and care far less about cultural issues than many Dems do, except that they are proud of who they are now and don't want that boat to be rocked too much.
