Study: Democrats can't base comeback on non-white voters
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/24/17 | David M. Drucker

ATLANTA — Democrats may be their own worst enemy when it comes to trying to rebuild their party into a more inclusive entity that can take back Congress and the White House, according to a new study.

The centrist Democratic think tank Third Way released a study called, "Why Demography is not Destiny," which argued that the Democrats' strategy of building durable majorities with the support of rising non-white demographics is simply not viable.

Identity politics is their platform and I would never discourage them from holding their current points view.

In fact, I am doing what I can deep in the heart of the beast to encourage their belief system, while expressing mine with zero insults, at least from me.

I take jab after frickin jab several times a week.

Let em be angry and divorced from facts, logic and reason their argument.

When I ask them why they believe a point of view I usually get some 10th grade sophomoric answer.

When I ask them to support their claim, they contrive food or event sausage to get their and then I push that because any reasonable person could not interpret those things to be such, even if you use deductive reasoning, which is the ultimate test of evidence.

I don’t even bother with the counter argument as it is pointless and antithetical to what I want them to focus on.

Let em be pissed, maybe they will grow up one day.

...the Democrats offer them nothing other than herding their kids into Union controlled urban cesspool schools, situate their abortion clinics in their neighborhood, and keep them in chronic dependent servitude.

In exchange for which the RAT party expects to kept in POWER. Power is the key word. The concept of political power has to drop by the wayside. It should be public SERVICE.

TERM LIMITS will be a start, and true campaign finance reform would help seal it. All political donations must be ANONYMOUS; you can't sell influence when you don't know who is buying. Americans should be able to donate to any candidate or party they choose, in any amount they wish. That is FREEDOM. But purchasing an outcome in exchange for the donation is BRIBERY, a felony. Lock 'em up, donor and recipient.

Correct. In fact, the entire Black Lives Matter political movement supported by the political Left actually turned off many voters that otherwise would have supported the Democrats.

Dems have not learned a thing from this last election. They still believe that their future lies in their past of identity politics. They are like heroin addicts who cannot kick their race and gender card addiction.

The Republican party is predominantly the party of the middle class. If Trump can raise many ethnic minorities and immigrants into the middle class via economic growth and many hit that magic 50K per year annual household income, they start to convert to conservative.

The left made a strategic and tactical blunder
The left has always exploited claiming to be the champions of societies victim...and the left uses it for a path to power.

It is the Karl Marx proletariat(worker/lower class ..the majority) vs. Bourgeoisie (middle class) and upper class

Of course the problem with the US for the left was the vast majority was in the middle class and the lower classes had a path upward...( this is where the term American exceptionalism came from ..it came from a communist acknowledging that the US was the exception when it came to trying to stir up the proletariat as a path to power)

So the left made a tactical change from class based rhetoric to race-based rhetoric... the left changed from the champions of the oppressed lower class ( because the lower class could move up in the US) to the champions of the oppressed minority races and groups ( you can't change your race so you're always going to be oppressed per the left thinking.. you're never going to with the left designated oppressor group)

The problem is the vast majority of the lower class is still the majority race and that a large part of minorities in this country don't really see themselves exceedingly oppressed

Then adding in that the vast majority of leftist leaders.. your social Warriors are in fact not from the proletariat working class but from the privileged Bourgeoisie (middle class) and upper class

So the left has flipped Karl Marx upside down we have a privileged Bourgeoisie (middle class) elitist clique and upper class attacking the majority of lower working class

So Trump is a leading a classical Marxist Revolution without Marx... its instead its traditional u.s. upward Mobility capitalism as the goal ...

So its the working class proletariat against an elitist privileged Bourgeoisie (social justice Warrior college educated useful idiots) and upper class left

The GOP is the de facto white party, which upsets them greatly, Democrat Party is the explicitly black/brown party, and could not be happier about it. Limited government and natural rights are not big sellers south of the border.

Well, they certainly are not going to take it back with a bunch of weird men wanting to be naked in the girls locker room.

...durable majorities with the support of rising non-white demographics is simply not viable...it's more than just the demographics - the needs and values of the individual elements which the 'rats have tried to use to build their dream castle inevitably start to get in each other's way - in Philly recently the gay community took a major hit because of claims of prejudice from blacks and straight women - blacks and Hispanic immigrants are more and more competing for the same jobs - the castle will eventually self-destruct from its own inherent instability....
