To regain political power, Democrats need to better direct their message at people of color who aren’t voting instead of conservative whites who have stopped listening to them.
That’s the conclusion of San Francisco’s Democracy in Color, which on Monday outlined a road map to victory that involves spending $500 million on field operations — instead of TV commercials — designed to turn out 10 million new progressive voters of color in 17 key states for the next presidential race.
Among the target states: longtime GOP strongholds of Georgia, Texas and Arizona, whose demographics are becoming less white and probably more welcoming to Democrats.
“There’s a reflexive default among the party to try to appeal to conservative white swing voters,” Steve Phillips, the San Francisco civil rights attorney, best-selling author of “Brown Is the New White” and founder of Democracy in Color, said Monday. “Absent any evidence that we can make headway with those voters, we should try to focus on those who we can
The 17-page report, “Return of the Majority: A Roadmap for Taking Back Our Country,” is also a guide for what those in the anti-President Trump resistance can do in the near term to help the Democratic Party turn around its priorities.

How many colors are there? I didn’t think they had missed any.
Oh wait, they keep forgetting to include Asians.
Asians have better things to do than to listen to this victimology.
This can only mean more D ballot box stuffing fraud since they’ve already got 103 percent of the “colired” vote. ( ps to DNC: except for NAACP, it’s often considered more respectful to use other terminology nowadays ).
Leftist dog whistle for targeting those states for massive vote fraud.
If this administration succeeds in rehabilitating our cities and the long forgotten underclass, the Demon-krats will be an ever shrinking party.
I would imagine the planned infrastructure spending is part and parcel of this.
I believe this in an area in which President Trump will shine.
..”seems like the old strategy to me”....
They’ve been singing that song for years.....problem is the black community is getting tired of the ‘reach’ with no action to follow.
... So now the black community is getting wise to the Demorats deception.....the Demorats are ‘reaching out’ to muslims and south americans and africans....
Same song different target.
When they already get 96% of the Black vote, courting that demographic is pointless. Utterly and expensively pointless...unless, of course, their internals reveal they're on the verge of losing it.
Alternatively, they can somehow try and embellish those numbers through immigration...oh, snap!
agreed.
And yet Asians vote Democrat.
I thought their new strategy is to appeal to people who are mentally ill like the transgendered that people by nature don’t accept and then turn them into an aggrieved class that can blackmail the rest of us with guilt politics.
I was gonna say... New???
I thought their plan was to throw as much shiite as possible up against the wall and hope some of it sticks.
Why didn’t they think of this sooner?

Re: “seems like the old strategy to me”
It is the old strategy.
And it definitely worked in 2012.
Mitt Romney was the first presidential candidate in American history to get 59% of the white vote - and lose!
In 2012, 73% of Asian voters supported Obama.
Asian-Indian Americans voted 80% to reelect Obama, and, financially, they are the most successful immigrant group in the country.
At $50 per vote, $500 million buys 10 million new voters.
One of the questions asked by hospital staff at one time was “Who is the President of the United States?” That is where the pollsters will have to start.
We all know Demonrats cannot be racist- only non demonrats can be racist
