Yeah yesterday @milkepescs.bsky.social was agreeing w/Iowa journo Art Cullen on his podcast that Ds need to stop emphasizing transgender & related issues "like they did in the last election" -Delusional. National Ds were (for better or worse) desperately running away from those issues in 2024
The reality of the Democratic Party -- what its elected officials actually do with the power they are given -- is almost entirely immaterial to US political discourse. Happens off-stage, basically.
Discourse is dominated by a kind of collective hallucination, a bogieman invented by its opponents.

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.
