Sheppard: I mean, I think they're quite broad, I think – in part because what you've seen in these very different elections – and I think the electorates here are quite different too – is that voters understand all of these things and react to them very quickly. And I think that extends to other areas, right? I don't think that, you know, accessibility and anti-Trump are anything like the long-term future of the Democratic Party. But if you create a party based on the message of improving the dignity of life for everyone, right, then that's a really good way to reach a lot of different types of communities.
And I think it's also in stark contrast to the frankly cowardly and depressing message that you hear from a lot of Democrats shortly after the election – you know, the less the party does, the better – that they need to sort of strategically abandon certain groups in order to prove their moderation to, you know, what Chuck Schumer called “the Baileys.”
And you know, what we're seeing in practice is that voters – both Democratic voters and swing voters, low propensity voters, whatever you want to call them – are very responsive to a party that comes out and says, you know, we see that you're struggling now, and we understand something about you, right? And we want to do it better. And this is how we do it.
