| Valdney said: Focusing on demographics change used to be a winning position for democrats, it has now completely turned against them. Latinos used vote for them upwards of 3 to 1, now is close to even. And when the electoral votes get readjusted in 2030 according to the new census Democrats are going to feel a demographic pain. If this new census had already been in place Trump would have easily won without any of the rust belt states, except Ohio which is not even a swing state anymore. |
Coalitions change all of the time. The Obama coalition failed to show up this time, but that is just a hint that Democrats need a new campaign message different from Obama's. Trump's coalition changed in the last ten years as well.
Adopting a left-populist message probably would bring Latinos back and a significant enough share of rural working class whites too. Bernie Sanders did better among these groups than Biden, Harris, and Clinton.
