The Theatre Of Identity on both sides of the aisle in the US was always bullshit to try and get more votes, if done differently:
Mind you, this is a pretty common pattern in other countries with electoral systems that boost a pair of "center" parties - there will be a "Right" one preaching some kind of nationalist pro-nation message and a "Left" one preaching anti-discrimination along racial/gender/sexual-orientation (but never wealth) lines, but they both serve the interest of the same people and will even get together to pass legislation that increases their own salaries, reduces the effectiveness of the fight against corruption or benefit some large well entrenched "regime" corporations who (by an amazing coincidence) employ in highly paid positions lots of politicians when they retire.
Yeah, I think dems don't take equality seriously at all. The cultural equality stuff they parrot is to distract from the fact that they'll never do anything to change the biggest inequality in the US, wealth and class. Even if it'd Freudian, in that they can point and say "see there? I want an equitable society" while ignoring the wealth inequality that is, statistically speaking, doing well for the college educated base they now encompass.
