Translation
This week, the self-styled centrist group WelcomePAC released a document entitled “Deciding to Win” — advised on by some of the Democratic Party’s most prominent strategists, including David Axelrod, James Carville, and David Plouffe — urging Democrats to act a little more like Republicans on so-called “identity and cultural issues.” The 58-page memo reads like a compendium of the consultant class’ worst instincts, encouraging candidates to become little more than poll-tested avatars and walking focus groups, trading conviction for triangulation. While the document rarely defines which “cultural issues” it means, the few times it does make it clear: queer and transgender people stand to lose the most if this vision of the Democratic Party takes hold.
