Yeah he's correct in a way, the Dems have been doing liberal identity politics and culture wars while serving Wall Street, totally ignoring working class issues (including the working class LGBTQ community). Trans sports and bathrooms isn't the top concern for the your average working class individual struggling with bills. Trump was able to capitalize on this. Dems will totally miss the point though, instead of focusing on improving living conditions for the working class, they'll just go right and become anti-trans.

I think this sentiment misses the mark too, because Democrats weren't exactly pushing a trans acceptance message either. Republicans literally started every single phase of the trans backlash, whether it was bathroom bills or women's sports, and the Dems have offered nothing in response, thus allowing the Reps to totally control the conversation because trans activists don't own a large enough microphone to effectively counter message against conservatives by themselves.

ya, as i recall the main democrat message was "we'll follow the law". not exactly championing anything there.
