It’s common sense that people want to be treated as individuals, not categorized by race. Being common sense, it’s easy to see how this simple truth has alluded Democrats.

“Class is the big divide in American politics, not identity”. People who do things other than politics for a living recognized this long ago, and were called racist for suggesting as much. Either the experts will start listening, or they’ll keep losing elections.

I think it’s a bit early to believe that democrats have changed their approach to messaging based on one memo that the democrats soundly ignored.

People want to be judged by who they are as individuals and not by their race and stereotyped by identity.

S H O C K E R ! ! ! !

Imagine just now coming to this conclusion.

Democrats continue to blame their messaging game, not their actual message.

These commenters see it.

My favorite part about these post election autopsies is they don’t think they have to change they way they govern, just the lies they tell voters to get into power.

Anyone remember when the Clinton campaign in the 1990s had the mantra of: “It’s the economy, stupid.” When put head to head economic issues are often more important than identity issues in campaign, a good economy is more important to more voters than identity politics.

Commenters don’t see Todd’s fellow Democrats heeding his message to change.

The democrat’s world view is identity politics – so it makes sense that they viewed the Latino vote as a vote based on color versus the Republicans that view Latinos as middle class voters.

#Latinx won’t be officially over until the Left comes out and admits it was a mistake, which of course will never happen.

This election proved that identity politics is a brain-dead zombie. Needless to say, the Democratic Party will continue to be devoted to identity politics for the next decade, if they continue to last that long.

Identity politics is essentially a religious tenet of the Dem Party, asking them to change is like asking someone to abandon their life-long faith. The way things are going the Dems are going to hold onto their ‘faith’ all the way to the party’s grave.
