Of course, we have to be cognizant of the fact that this was a reality reserved almost exclusively for white Americans.

It is however a powerful message. One that Democrats have tried to use I would argue--but need to find ways to use more effectively and forcefully.

One problem though is the way Republicans have quite successfully convinced a lot of Americans that Democrats will take away their guns, turn their kids gay, force them to have abortions, not let them pray or say Merry Christmas, and let boys who could never win a race against other boys compete against their daughters and use their bathrooms.

So how do we balance a message of economic populism while still finding ways to convince people that the cultural issues we care about are not a threat to their "way of life" so they will vote for Democrats?

Or do we?

This is the existential battle Democrats have faced for quite some time now.
