Some curator at one of our most exalted institutions of public instruction had decided to use a currently fashionable, morally loaded academic keyword to address a visitor to the museum — say, a family from the Midwest, doing the round of national shrines — and teach them a lesson about American wickedness
Put it this way, I don't think it's a coincidence that the only winning tickets for Democrats since 1996 have had Joe Biden attached to them.
It's not even about being out of touch. The Republican party is clearly out of touch as well.
But Democrats need the right messenger. It's not enough to just put "generic old white man" on the ticket and trot out "token Republican who hates the party" and hope for the best.
Voters didn't trust Gore, Kerry, Clinton or Harris to not go too deep into the crazy because they signaled that they wouldn't. It was really easy to tie them to "whacko environmentalist" and "Massachusetts/New York/California liberal".
At the very least, a nominee from Pennsylvania or Michigan would definitely help.

Dems are so out of touch it’s just not funny.
