It's never been clear to me how exactly the people who poo-poo the idea of emphasizing bread-and-butter issues to win back some of these voters recommend the Democrats proceed instead. Lie to them? Keep scolding and shaming them but EXTRA HARD this time? Double down on trying to Make Demographics Destiny Again? The entire point of a pivot to economic issues is to introduce new political incentives for voters who are currently motivated by uglier things. I'm appalled that this has to be spelled out over and over again.
Because its much easier to divide and conquer through social issues/identity politics bull.
