In fact it may send them running in the opposite direction. The working person doesn't give a damn about LGBTQ. They don't give a damn about the worst case AGW scenarios. What they care about is money ... the money into their household. A new vocabulary will be needed in order to the Dems to win back people are are not already won over unlike the current Dem supporters in the bubble lands. The Dems need to win over hard hats, small business people and the like.
I can appreciate that, and have tilted at similar windmills. Learn to speak their lingo. Learn to at least respect if not embrace their values. Being smug and superior is no way to get them to buy you a beer.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
