The media loves to focus on the conservative blue-collar man who is a Trump voter in a diner somewhere.

Of course they ignore the fact that from census data, the average American is a ~30 year old woman in California with a few years of college education. But she doesn’t count as real America”

They only affect certain populations thus they are spoken of in specific terms, AKA woke.

I’m not a person who likes to use the C word (centrist), but there are certainly folks who have suggested throwing both these populations under the bus will appease some mythic center-left bloc.

Abortion and gender, affirming care are both of course healthcare, but with access denied legally as well as economically due to discrimination and bigotry (usually masked as principles of religion faith).

Yes to this whole thread, and equitable access to abortion is another struggle that spans social and economic concerns (and wins in big numbers ie 2022 blue wave).

All these white men keep saying the party focused on identity. they think Kamala Harris was chosen because she was a Black woman. not because of her credentials or because of her policies. They didn’t hear her speak. They saw ”BLACK WOMAN” and shut their ears and shook their heads.

The reason they think Kamala Harris ran a woke campaign based on identity is because she’s a Black woman.

It’s not deeper than that. They don’t care what she said or about her politics. They think running Kamala was about putting a Black woman in power and they think such a move is political poison

Whenever I’ve asked someone to be specific and tell me which policies of hers were “too progressive” it would inevitably turn into an uncomfortable dance of them not wanting to put into words their belief that by simply being a Black woman she was already “too progressive” before saying anything

I described this in the abstract yesterday, so thanks to Politico for providing a clear example today I guess.
Media standards:

1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention.

2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing.

Way too many think that’s journalism.
