COOPER: “And welcome back to our live CNN town hall. We‘re back with Senator Bernie Sanders. I want to introduce Grace Thomas, she‘s a local civil rights attorney. She‘s a Democrat. Grace?”
Thomas: “They/them pronouns, actually. Thank you.”
COOPER: “Oh.”
Thomas: “Good evening, Senator Sanders. Polling and turnout data indicate that men of all racial demographics are turning away from the Democratic Party. But, of course, white men in particular, do not feel that the DNC’s messaging targets them on the issues that they care about. Should progressive campaigns craft policies and messaging to better encapsulate these voters? And if the answer is yes, how do they do so without abandoning marginalized voters of color and gender?”
Sanders: “Thank you for the question, Grace. Look, this is — it is no great secret that in America, people have strongly different points of view, right?”
