    John Ossoff ran quite a strong campaign. But short of actually BEING a Republican, there's nothing "more he could have done..."

        Post-2012, "demographics" were supposed to ensure Dems national victories for the indeterminate future. It's an incredibly reductive view.

        Which goes to show that persuasion, policy, and other variables supersede "demographics."

        With an electorate going in different directions, going center is the worst tactic. You lose the left and the right has a better candidate.

        I like how she essentially just admitted that Clinton is a Republican. After all, Clinton did better in that district than Ossoff did.

        It is also deliberately lazy. Eleven of the 20th-century presidential elections saw winners carry 80+% of states. Avg., post-1980s: 58%.

        Writing off approximately 20 states means not caring to represent on a fully national level. It is no wonder Ds are out of power.

        There's a big difference b/w "unpersuadable" & "deplorable"...not that hard to comprehend. Some districts are too red.

        Democrats message is "We will use federal government to impose our cultural aesthetic". That is a betrayal of why they were elected in 2009.
