Has the left’s half-century-long struggle to return the Democratic Party to its working class roots become an exercise in futility? This is perhaps the most vexing question facing the party of liberal America.
It is not an easy one to answer. In recent years, the Democratic electorate has moved in two directions.
First: The percentage of Democrats with a college degree has almost doubled, growing from 22 percent in 1996 to 41 percent in 2019.
Second: While the percentage of Democrats who are non-Hispanic and white has fallen from 76 to 59 percent over the same period, according to Pew Research, nonwhite Democrats — Black, Hispanic, Asian American or members of other minority groups — have grown from 24 to 41 percent.
In terms of the entire U.S. population (as of July 2022), those described by the census as “White alone, not-Hispanic or Latino” made up 58.9 percent of the United States — down from 69.1 percent in 2000 — while the percentage of Black, Hispanic, Asian American and other minorities increased from 30.9 to 41.1 percent over the same period.
