A Mother Jones analysis of voting data shows rich voters remained loyal as Latino and Asian voters moved right—revealing fissures in a Democratic party that sees itself as a champion of the working class.
This might be true, but it’s not aligned with the posted article: it highlighted how Latino & Asian voters went to the right because they saw the democrats as ineffectual and as Trump spouting rhetoric instead of legit policy. It also noted how older immigrants saw “new immigrants” as somehow ‘worse mannered’ than them.
The GOP strategy has long been “block Dems” in order to make the federal systems look ineffectual at helping: that’s what happened, at least to these voters in this article.
Democrats are a party divided, Republicans are a party united. That is why they win. The Republican base and Republican donors support big corporations and corporate graft. The Democratic base wants a party that will truly take on corporate power, but the gerontocracy that runs the party is firmly in bed with corporate ghouls through their donations. The Republican base is united with its donors, while the Democratic base is at odds with its donors. The progressive wing of the party, in rejecting corporate influence, offers the party a way forward. But as we’ve seen in the recent House committee fights, vampires like Pelosi refuse to give up power and will die in office. The leaders of the Democratic party would rather lose to a Republicans than win with an anti-corporate progressive message, as those corporate dollars enrich them personally.
The existing Democratic Party likely needs to be burned down to ashes. It needs to go the way of the Whigs. Only then will room exist for a less corrupt party to form on the left. Democrats are losers, and they are going to continue to lose, as they simply do not want to win. Only win the Democratic party is left in the ash heap of history will progress finally be possible.
Yeah, Drump won because, by and large, eligible voters didn’t bother to vote

These people are beyond redemption.
