We cannot win by hating our fellow Americans.

190. You can do all those things and still try to figure out why Democrats lost support over the last four years.

The fact is, the only group Harris actually improved upon compared to Biden in 2020 was white voters.

She lost ground with Black and Hispanic voters.

That's the base of the Democratic Party and has been for generations. In 1984, a landslide loss for Democrats, Mondale won 91% of Black voters and 66% of Hispanic voters - that was better in both than Harris in November.

The problem as I see it is that everyone should have seen this coming. Poll after poll throughout 2023 and 2024 indicated there was a shift among minority voters. And yet, every time that was mentioned here, people dismissed it.

No way would a minority vote for a Nazi like Trump!

Well...some did. A lot did. Trump did better among Black voters than any Republican in modern history. He did better among Hispanic voters than any Republican since exit polls were established.

How is that possible? Why did that happen? I think we should figure out what triggered the exodus because unless Democrats fix it, they ain't winning again. The party doesn't do well enough among white voters, who are the majority of the voting population, to barely win Hispanic voters and to continue to see softening support among Blacks.

That doesn't mean you capitulate to MAGA or the hate but at least give them a chance to explain why they shifted so significantly...instead of just dismissing them outright because they happened to vote Trump.

There's clearly a messaging problem with Democrats and it's why their polling is in the trash right now. It's gotta be fixed and alienating people who have voted Democratic for years isn't going to fix that problem.
