Aside from the "throw the bastards out" sentiment that guides so many cycles (and it's no doubt strong right now), the victors all campaigned on economic and affordability issues. Rent and utility freezes, free transportation, childcare, etc

Let's hope our esteemed politicians realize that the era of God, Guns, Gays is over. It class over identity, and the victors will speak to the material conditions of their voters
