We do not win by surrendering to conservative ideology. If we avoid any candidate that could be called "DEI" then that requires us to only go with straight white men.

Look, I'm not going to say that there are no opportunities to moderate and win more voters on various issues. Whether that's worth it is a complex discussion. What I am saying is that voluntarily removing all elements of diversity from our tickets to appease conservatives will not help us in the slightest and will in fact harm us.

Baldwin winning in a Trump won-swing state in probably what was the "peak woke backlash"national environment shows sexual orientation isn't really an issue.

No, it doesn't show that. It shows that voters are willing to vote for what they consider a "good" LGB candidate downballot, and notice I left off the T, because trans people are a designated target for bullying right now.
