David Shor is a racism dial guy who's convinced that the reason Dems are losing is because poor people and minorities hate things like labor rights, abortion, defunding the police, and letting immigrant enter the US. His prescription for Democratic success is that the Dems should stop letting wealthy billionaires drag them left, and instead embrace a new moderate right-populism based around welfare for white people, big tax cuts, and patriotic support of law enforcement and the military. In his eyes, issues like climate change, unions, and LGBT rights have no place in Democratic platforms, which should never even mention those issues until the Dems have attained a solid supermajority.

People have been debating various interpretations of that in USNews, and obviously my own interpretation of his stance is fairly uncharitable, but the thing that strikes me the most when I read anything he says is how much it reminds me of New Democrat ideology. The whole concept of "social issues are unpopular, so we have to pretend not to support them, and then try to sneak them in as part of other bills after we win" is straight out of the 90s Dem excuse notebook.
