Hi Mike, respectfully, I disagree that this happened from the Dem side. But they were successfully portrayed this way by the Republicans and their jackals — I mean Fox News.
The issue of bathrooms and générer is teeny tiny to the Dems, but created a perfect wedge to hammer them with. Kamala talked a lot a lot about working families. But her “Opportunity economy and tax credits did not resonate in the face of Trump’s lies about out of control inflation and no one can afford bacon. (He now says he can’t control prices…so much for the working class putting faith in him for their best interests).
Dems are good at focusing on the right problems. Empathize and explain. Not so good at enrage and inflame.
