We Need to Talk About Soft Secession

13. The division in this country is an illusion

If there was a party that was economically progressive and socially center-right, they'd run politics for a generation. Referendums to raise the minimum wage and mandatory sick leave win in deep red states.

Now I'm not saying Democrats need to throw LGBTQ people under the bus, we just need to stop running as if the center is economically center-right and socially center left. The mainstream media and too often the political consultants think it is, but it's the opposite of that.

I live in a red area and have friends that voted for Trump. It's a myth that they are okay if they suffer as long as *those* people suffer more. They don't vote Democrat because Dems don't agressively market themselves as the party of the working class.
