"Right now, the mainstream of the national Democratic Party is still overwhelmingly focused on policy, not culture. They're trying to govern, which is the job they were elected to do. But at some point they'll need to start campaigning again, and if Democrats believe that the passage of an infrastructure program and a large social spending bill will provide the ammunition to repel a new GOP-launched culture war, they are deluding themselves. If you weigh the concerns of parents with their kids' education against a subsidy for electric cars, or a better rail system some years down the line, the scales will tip pretty heavily to one side."
