Jebus, stop trying to find a single group to blame, it’s the entire god damn American public that’s at fault.
White, Latino, Blacks, Asians, men, women, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, atheists, Republicans, Democrats, progressives, everyone in America knew who Trump and Republicans are and screwed the pooch and the entirety of America.
Yes, it’s true that analyzing who voted for who is a legitimate thing to do. At the same time, we must keep in mind that Democrats were looking for people to blame several months before the election and they’re certainly still looking for people to blame now. If you’re writing an article and you just ignore this broader context, you deserve to be ridiculed online.
I think what we’ve seen since 2016 is that the DNC has little interest in representing the interests of the average working American. They just don’t want to push policies that Bernie Sanders would push, and they’re desperate to argue that they can be successful without doing so. In other words, the DNC is pro-corporate America, which is anti-working America, and they won’t change unless they’re forced out.
I don’t think “blame” is the right word here. They’re/we’re looking for reasons for how things ended up the way they did.
IMO it’s unhelpful at best and harmful at worst to look at the data and the people analyzing it and approach it as a blame thing - or even to assume it’s a finger pointing game. The facts are that the voting strategies of certain groups of people changed this election. The important thing moving forward is to understand who changed and why they changed, because then those things can be addressed.
And yeah, DNC leadership is either dumb or actively malicious because they keep pushing failed ideas under a false banner.
