No issue can be discussed separately from race and gender, because these factors cause people to be affected differently. Why won't Pete -- who wouldn't have his husband, children, or military service record without Democrats -- attack the GOP for its fixation on rich straight white male identity?
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity
The former U.S. transportation secretary said the Democratic Party should focus more on issues gripping the country, such as health care and housing affordability.

The legacy of slavery also lives on in the voting patterns of the majority demo, and the restrictions still placed on voting today.
Electing a Black president didn't end the legacy of slavery. The majority demo voted against him each time, then helped to ensure that the VRA was gutted.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.
The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.
It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

🗣️They don’t want to talk about this.
Ever!
It’s easier for them to call us “the establishment” and ignore the fact that Black Voters ALWAYS vote for progress. Always!

The "convergent views" of the far left and far right are anti-Blackness, antisemitism, and misogyny, so I don't see where the good faith comes in.

1. She was the only person legally eligible to the Biden war chest, campaign infrastructure, field offices, staffers etc whereas anyone else would have had to start from scratch with just 107 days *before* a convention?
2. Her job was literally to take over in case anything happened to him?

Obama feebly tried to stage an open convention. That would have been much, much better.
It was never clear to me why Democrats rallied around Harris so immediately, except for some weird notion on appearing unified.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

this, voting in overwhelming numbers is the only way it will happen. If we want people held to account WE have to make that happen. Hopefully, we see fair elections in '26 & '28. We are in uncharted territory now because of large scale failures of segments of the US electorate. We can't fail in '26.

Some of you put "listen to Black women" in your bios just as an empty slogan. If you truly did listen, we have less whining and better navigation of this current messed up landscape. Some of us have been navigating uncertainty all our lives. We won't bend, or break. But we won't coddle you either.

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.
