It's been theorized that identity politics and culture war are poison pills designed to keep any movement against abuse from billionaires as toothless and divided as possible.Democrats don’t have a leader they can coalesce around. The party was built around electing Hillary Clinton and never had a plan B. The DSA types filled in the power vacuum but none of them are electable on the national stage.
At the local levels, Democrats are crushing safe Republican seats and the common theme is they’re winning by being moderates and focusing on shit people care about, kitchen table cost of living issues. They deliberately avoid culture war issues. But the DNC has a real problem on their hands because at the national level, they still are focused on how many diversity boxes they can tick off. Guarantee you that the average black voter would prefer someone who can win versus a Jasmine Crockett type who just wants racial grievances to be the primary focus. But even you can tell at the national level they know how toxic that bullshit is.
All that basically just means that Democrats right now suck at the national level but that might be fine. Maybe the focus really needs to be at the local levels to flip enough red seats in Congress to neutralize migger bullshit. AOC is definitely trying to angle for more power out of this and she has way too much baggage. The best thing Democrats can do is get as fresh of a start as possible with as much new blood as possible. Chuck Schumer just needs to step down.
