41. The Democratic Party needs new leadership and new strategies.

Looking at the 1024 results, we saw predictable results:

Black voters chose the Democratic candidate by overwhelming percentages, just like they always do.

LGBTQ voters chose the Democratic candidates by overwhelming percentages.

Most Latino/Hispanic voters, overall, chose the Democratic candidate but it appears that Latino men may have moved toward the Republican. (Hispanic voters are not necessarily recent immigrants. Many, like my conservative BIL, are from families that have been here for hundreds of years. The DNC makes a big mistake considering all Latinos to be the same bloc. They are highly diverse. Many consider themselves to be white, and their views depend a lot on their country of origin (which some consider to be the U.S. since their families have been here that long.))

For the first time in a long time, more college-educated voters chose the Democrat.

As usual, we lost heavily among whites. Especially rural whites. We lost overwhelmingly among non-college educated whites.

The Democratic Party can't win if so many white people vote Republican. Most of those voters should be ours because they are who the Democratic Party helps the most!

We're losing young voters because our economy is becoming more and more lopsided, with policies that benefit older affluent whites and leave everyone else in the dust. Yet those older affluent whites continue to vote Republican!

There's some obvious lessons here, to me:
- Democrats need to figure out how to get the truth of what we're doing out there. Fox News, hate radio, podcasters, QAnon type websites are killing us. We're allowing negative churches to kill us. We're allowing lies to go uncorrected. Our messaging needs to improve greatly.

-Democrats need to reaffirm our commitment to the vision of America that is free, diverse, multicultural, and allows opportunities for all. The Republicans literally co-opted that message!

-Democrats need to propose big bold ideas that they promise to fight for. Much higher minimum wage, healthcare for all, subsidized college tuition (much more palatable than loan forgiveness), etc.
