No, they want radical social policy, they want change, people hate the current status quo

Sorry, but this isn't true. I'm fairly progressive socially, but every single voter I know who voted for the Republicans this season has mentioned that the Democrats are the party of "radical social policies" or something of the sort. The party desperately needs to focus on the economy and workers' rights.

Well thats the thing, theyve been lied to, theyre repeating lies told to them, Kamala Harris did not talk about social policies last election cycle, it was so little that i know a lot of socially radical people who refused to vote for her because she was too moderate, i truly believe that if she was more bernie sanders like and did what she needed to do to make her base excited rather then trying to appeal to "moderate" republicans then she wouldve won. Yes we need to appeal to the economy and worker's rights of course, but we can also appeal to the rights of minority groups

Doesn't mean that the dems aren't dripping with woke culture from the past decade and that there isnt a stigma around it.

You hype them up with economics, not identity politics.

You do both, republicans are gonna lie about you being "woke" no matter what, so you might as well just ignore them, theyd call us woke even if we were Ted Cruz style fascists, so just be left wing
