like they have an angle with 3, Gaza, bit given that they both acknowledge that the convention is where you put on your fanciest show vs getting too deep into issues and that both Bernie and Biden mentioned the ceasefire, it's a bit like... idk that you sh/could reasonably expect more
and the other two are identity politics - which a) they are very clearly running on a message of What If We Just Let Everyone Be, Jeez and 2) there is a LOT about rqce and class and that's extremely identify politics? like yeah they are not using the actual terms DEI and affirmative action but that's because those are like MAGA dogwhistles at.current
and then.the second is Internal Party Strife, calling out how in the past the dems have kind of at each other's throats and this year everyone is trying to get along. which is just wild to present like it's An Issue
yeah "don't want to talk about" sounds like secrets that they want to keep, rather than just not the common ground points they're focusing on strategically right now
