The median voter, the ones who decide elections, do not give a flying fuck about LGBTQ+ issues. These are the fringest of fringe issues. I've said it before, and @cheaptrailertrashglm is echoing it again, this election came down to if the middle class felt that they were better off today than they were 5 years ago under Trump. The answer was a resounding "no." 
 
75 million people did not show up and vote for Trump because they care about trans women in sports. 70 million people did not show up and vote for Harris because she will continue to allow gender affirming surgery for prison inmates. 
 
The Democrats (the establishment ones--not Bernie and AOC's flank) need to realize that they do not have a winning coalition without white, middle class workers. 
 
What the conservative talking points on LGBTQ+/trans issues did help the Republicans with is that it solidified their message of being "the common-sense party." Even though our small, left-leaning LB community may not agree with that, the majority of the US thinks that spending time and money on LGBTQ+ issues is a waste, and nothing but "wokeism". 
 
The next generation of Democrats needs to realize that they need to simplify their messaging. They cannot be everything to everyone. They cannot be pro-fracking in PA, and in the same breath also be the party that believes in climate change. They cannot be the party of economic growth, but also implement carbon taxes. They cannot promise to be the outsiders who will go against the elites, and then bring out Lady Gaga and Beyoncé to campaign stops. 
 
The Democrats need to position themselves in the next election as "common sense outsiders," promising to make the economy better for everyone. Kamala Harris's "Opportunity Economy" was just a remarketing of the "American Dream" ideal that everyone can and wants to be an entrepreneur. That dream is dead, and most Americans don't want an "opportunity economy", they just want an economy where they can work 40 hours a week and not feel like they're still coming up short. After they are elected, they can devote some time, quietly, to expanding LGBTQ+ rights, access to abortion, and other socially progressive agenda items--but they cannot run on it. 
 
(They also need a way to build a non-traditional media apparatus, because the venn diagram of people who read/watch traditional news and vote blue is becoming a circle, but that's a different conversation.)
 
If 2028's Presidential nominee does not win, the Democratic Party will be dead for the next decade.
