to the extent there’s connective tissue between the Dems who considerably outperformed Harris in competitive districts/states (Gallego, Gluesenkamp Perez, Ryan) it seems they all championed progressive policies while wrapping themselves in conservative cultural coding.
Ryan campaigned with AOC in the Hudson Valley but made a point to highlight his military service in every campaign ad. Gluesenkamp Perez co-sponsored a bill to protect medication abortion while constantly talking about her history as a flannel-clad car mechanic.
Gallego never apologized for his tenure in the House Progressive Caucus but aggressively pursued male voters with soccer and boxing match watch parties.
All of them spoke proudly in defense of queer Americans while also never condemning constituents who lacked the language to voice their concerns about certain issues in a politically correct fashion.
Having grown up on a farm with a Fox News family, I think this is the way.
