Well, he’s close to saying they need to focus on universal material issues more than leaning into identity politics, which I agree with, but I don’t think that’s quite what he’s going for. Focusing on universal material issues does not mean throwing this or that marginalized group under the bus and he’s already run over some people.
The palestinians in 2024, trans people in 2028. And you’ll have people crying about harm reduction in 2030 blaming leftists for telling others not to vote for the double genocide party.
When centrists say “focus on kitchen table issues” they don’t actually mean focus on universal material issues. It’s just a cudgel to try to crack the left and make them think nothing should be done on anything. Most of his vetoes have been against straightforward material concerns, not mandating trans flags on paper straws.
He starts off by saying Democrats should not focus on identity politics. But then right after it he says that Democrats should adopt his version of identity politics to solve the issue instead of not letting it be the focus.

This is the most damning part against giving him the benefit of the doubt.
He is doing the classic Liberal doublespeak.
