Social issues mean different things to people of different color, and it really shouldn't.
Just saw this on MSNBC with a white self-proclaimed Democratic man standing up in a townhall commenting about the disconnect with Dem candidates in 2016 pushing "social issues" and what he really wants to hear. He said that he doesn't want to hear about social issues and he also mentioned the Mueller report. His concept of social issues is going out and putting food on the table for his family and that's the only thing he wants to hear.
Seriously, who couldn't call this? There is a massive difference between the needs of minorities who are being held back by a number of social mores, and white people who are not burden by these mores at all. Guess what? In addition to the battles that minorities and women have to fight, they also have to worry about putting food on the table for their families. This isn't an either/or formula for minorities and women. This is a twofold problem, where a solution for one part of the formula can alleviate the second.
Maybe that particular white male doesn't want to hear it, but it's really something that has a pay-off in the end for everyone if people like him can just take the effort to see the big picture. Here's the spoiler: We can't push a Democratic agenda UNTIL we put the Republicans on their heels. And tackling the Mueller Report and exposing the truths IS the best way to do that.
So buckle up and look at all the moving parts because it's all interconnected.
