It would be one thing if this were all about emphasis, but "run against the Dem establishment on identity issues" is gaining a troubling foothold in strategy talks.

This is all true. But there's also an ascendent narrative that Trump won because trans is unpopular, so Dems need to stop openly defending trans people.

Diabelli did get his wish. Some of the standalones are interesting and quite lovely. The one by an 11-year old Liszt is hilarious, though
