Cultural, social issues, identity inflected issues. matched

They get more coverage. matched

And more they they generate more attention than cost of living issues and fights over cost of living issues. matched

And so if you're someone who is more conservative on immigration, trans issues, abortion, whatever it may be. matched

And you look at the national debate and you tune in, you're likely to see Democrats stake out progressive positions on that, Republicans fight them on it. matched

And you're not as likely to see fights about healthcare like we're seeing right now, which is again what led Senate Democrats to the strategy that they're pursuing right now. matched

Is this very dynamic? matched

Now, do you just run an economic populist like Sherrod Brown? matched

And maybe that's enough? matched

Possibly. matched

But I also think that. matched

Ignoring the identity inflected issues at this point is not feasible because again, Trump and the Republicans have a vote and they get to make the election about something as well. matched

And again, the way that the information environment works, right, those issues are going to generate attention. matched

So you do have to have a message on all those issues. matched

And it has to be a message that resonates with people who may be more conservative than national Democrats. matched

or more moderate than National Democrats on those issues. matched

This is not about like, so we then we have to change all of our positions and moderate all of our positions, but like at the very least, let's try telling a story about our position on those issues that appeals to people or at least doesn't push them away. matched

And I don't think we've done a great job of that. matched
