Too many are buying into RW memes--especially anti-Democratic party, anti-DEI, which is appalling to me. Even if loudly intermixed with anti-MAGA economic points upon which we ALL agree.

IS THAT REALLY THE DIRECTION YOU WANT THE DEMS TO GO--to ignore everyone EXCEPT YOUNG WHITE MALES? To NOT buy into the former does NOT equate that DEMS should not care about that group or to not address any wrong impression that we do not include them in policy--only that it should never be the ONLY group we focus on. Do you really not agree with my last statement? Galloway does not. Read his books or listen to a podcast of his and not be bought into his smooth, yet derogatory and conflating talk. His background is as a MARKETER and boy does he market his talking points.
