Dems did everything they could to lose the last election.

I predict they are going to have to jettison the LBGTQ and gay agenda in order to be able to win again.

"I predict they are going to have to jettison the LBGTQ and gay agenda in order to be able to win again."

They'll at least have to scale it back, so it doesn't look like it includes QAnon anymore.

Yes, they did.

And no, they won't. They can't entirely cut it loose because enough of the base would walk away that it won't help them.

But what they need to do and should be doing is getting back to addressing the core issues the majority of Americans are worried about, namely economics and future stability.

When people are under pressure and stress and it looks like that pressure and stress is only going to grow, they won't care about increasingly absurd social issues.

Hell, they showed that they'd rather sit home and let Trump win than vote for a party that is continuing down that path with dips*&^ moves like electing David Hogg to the DNC.

I think Mr. Carville's point was maybe to focus first and foremost on experience and qualifications, rather than those things that shape the individual's personal life.
