What he's saying isn't wrong. Republicans are very good at identifying a wedge issue then pinning it onto Democrats. Gavin is saying Democrats shouldn't take the bait so easily, allowing Republicans to dictate the terms of discourse. Which is absolutely true.

But the solution isn't to just abandon trans people, women, immigrants, Palestinians, Ukrainians, or any other targeted community used as ammunition in a political fight.

It's centrists' solution.
