they are afraid of antagonizing the trans rights community by running candidates more willing to signal unfriendliness to their favored issues.
The key is whether not putting trans rights on the front burner "signals unfriendliness".
Dems need to get over that fast. I feel like I would fight really hard for various trans rights issues. I think they are particularly put upon these days. But there is existential shit going on right now that I would like us to prioritize. As well as economic and educational opportunity.

Egalitarianism as a concept is very popular and defending women, minorities, and gay and trans people as part of the fight for egalitarianism against the billionaires trying to divide us so they can treat us all like chattel should not be a hard message to sell.
This sentence captures what the problem is. Are billionaires really trying to subdivide us into groups beyond the haves and the have nots? By slicing and dicing people into genders and races and sexual identifications, we are dividing ourselves.
Let's stop. I think trans people are in a unique situation but as far as others, we should help those who are economically disadvantages and stop putting them into groups.
Dems should pursue radically color and sex blind policies that are based solely on economic need. They should also favor all forms of social inclusion but not politicize appropriate social behavior.

Won't blow up. Will result in Tesla's biggest seller - the all-gas- all the time Trump Covfefe.

No, I don't think so. Dems would tell you that at the root of their policies they are trying to achieve color-blindness but the focus is on policies that to me seem to stress overstatement of racial differences. Look at these two links:
HEALING THE SOUL OF AMERICA - Democrats
Fact Sheet: U.S. Efforts to Combat Systemic Racism | The White House
I'm saying the Dems can be lots less preachy and more focused on actual programs that provide economic assistance to all disadvantaged without making the focus on race. In other words, combat systematic racism by combating systematic poverty. This election shows that the division lines are class and education and not necessarily racial so the dems should market the policies towards class (opportuinty).
My point is that focusing purely on economic disparities domestically, dems can achieve more equality without giving the other side the weapon of attacking them for "identify politics".
Yes, and its absolutely hypocritical argument but that's where we are.
EO 13985 sets up a comprehensive structure of equity committees and the like in federal government. You tell me if the definition of "equity" under EO 13985 is as "color blind" or blind to identity politics as it could be.
Sec. 2 . Definitions. For purposes of this order: (a) The term “equity” means the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality.
My argument is that the definition should have been.
