With the 2018 midterms months away and the 2020 presidential election cycle approaching rapidly, Democrats are considering how to improve their poor showings in 2014 and 2016. The party has been debating - sometimes heatedly - how to do this. Which voters should they target? How should Democrats target them?
But heres whats clear: White voters have been fleeing the Democratic Party, and thats a big reason Democrats are looking to rebound from back-to-back losses.
Whites have slowly but consistently moved away from the Democratic Party. These recent losses are on top of Democrats losses among Southern whites during the 1960s and 1970s after Democrats support of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
My new research helps explain how Democrats got to this point. I utilized survey data from the American National Election Study that spanned 1972 to 2012 and the General Social Survey that spanned 1983 to 2014 to see how the predictors of white vote choice had changed. I found that white voters shift toward the Republican Party has been driven by two factors.
The first factor is that growing elite polarization has caused the electorate to sort along ideological lines.
On the elite level, Republicans are conservatives and Democrats are liberals. The parties are clearly divided ideologically, and there is no overlap between the two.
The second factor is that demographic changes have decreased the ratio of whites to nonwhites in the electorate. The electorate was 29 percent nonwhite in 2016. This is up from 11 percent in 1976 and 19 percent in 2000.
This is politically important because the average white voter is more economically conservative and more socially liberal on issues such as abortion, gay rights and so on than the average nonwhite voter.

There is no space for wypepo in the democrat party.
Nope. White Republican women and black any kind of women get the abortions.
The DNC is bleeding Christians. Believing Christians find themselves pushed out of the party.
And people who become Christians, while initially Democrat, (if a church is growing, you should see DNC bumper stickers in the parking lot)... over time, find that they can no longer remain in the party. It takes a few years, sometimes, for their political identity to shift, but to the degree that they are serious about their faith, their departure is inevitable.
I didn’t leave the Democrat party, it left me. ~~RR (and millions of other God, family, country patriots)
The Democratic Party has elements of anti-white ideology....
White suburban and white rural voters don’t want that.
White urban and hippie people are the only people that Democrats have right now....
No mention of the fact that the Dems went from the party of White Supremacy and used the KKK and other race-bating of blacks to maintain white support, to becoming the party of non-White Supremacy and are now using BLM and other race-bating of whites to maintain non-white support.
The Erase and Replace agenda has been rolling for decades.
Whenever some liberal pulls out that old canard, I simply ask them, "Name one" and they never can.
Not Robert Byrd. Not Bull Connor. Not Al Gore Sr. Not George Wallace. They all stayed with the Democratic Party until death.
If they weren't historically illiterate, a liberal could name Jesse Helms, but I've yet to meet one who wasn't historically illiterate.
And full of self hate.
plus they seem to like
Even the Post is forced to admit without saying it that the Democratic hatred of whites in general and white men in particular is biting it in the butt and costing it dearly. Too bad, the Dumb o craps deserve what they have brought on themselves.
The Democrats have fallen victim to the common human falacy of doing the same thing that has worked well in the past despite increasingly shrinking or negative results. The Democrat Party will ride the SJW train all the way down to hell before they change their minds. The Democrat Party is so sad that they cannot ditch fossils like Biden and Pelosi.
The Democrat Party will continue to shriek at the rest of America as it shrivels into an urban issues advocacy group.

#DLM?
And Kanye West is driving out the blacks from the DNC - pretty soon itll just be Muzzies.
The Democrats have made it clear that they hate white people. Why would anyone vote for them?
whites are smart enough to not want higher taxes that are wasted
So this genius journalist is studying the problem? Ill spell it out for him and it wont take more than a minute.
* Democrats are not patriots anymore. They are citizens of the world rather than citizens of the USA. They think that patriotism is the same as nationalism. They melt into globs of goo when they hear Lee Greenwoods rendition of God Bless the USA.
* Democrats endorsed high volume non-white immigration from the third world, permanently affecting the demographics of the country.
* The policies of Democrats are indistinguishable from those of the Frankfurt School, e.g., cultural Marxism.
* Democrats are not the party of faith.
I think that about sums it up.
