Where were the black Democrats? Where were the non-yuppies? Hillary Clinton could have asked the same questions on November 9, 2016, after she failed to get them to show up for her the way they’d showed up for Barack Obama. That election, like the Kavanaugh protest, showed that white liberalism has a problem: it’s too liberal for a majority of whites, yet too distant from the concerns of most non-whites.That sounds like a description of a furious out-of-touch elite. Democrats have become a party of those who perceive themselves marginalized, but the truly marginalized aren't buying the claimed kinship of white yuppies.
I predicted some years ago the Democrats will not again nominate a white individual for president. How else to replicate the Obama electoral magic? A Biden, Warren or Bloomberg can't reassemble the Obama coalition, Hillary proved this the hard way.
