Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

You’re right; Addressing the financial pain-points, and securing the future of the children of the bottom ~90% should be the US’s primary concern.

Successfully doing so is what buys a political party sufficient goodwill to be able to address social concerns for minorities in need.

It is literally the “why are we sending aid overseas when we have starving children here” meme, but unironic.
