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

      Also, this kind of "demographic fatalism" argument is darkly invoked by the "alt-right" on a regular basis. FYI.https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/877351493283610624 …

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

          I suppose that would explain the indefatigable obsession with identity politics.

          It's frankly easier to change laws around civil rights, discrimination, than it is to do redistributive econ reform that effects funders.

          And incredibly racist, sexist etc. People can be persuaded, groups do change their affiliation. AA used to be Republican.

          They were too close to winning in 2016 to give it up. Next time, they think.

          Replacing persuasion and responsiveness with a blind faith that "History" will turn the crank is often a recipe for political folly.

          Democrats have convinced minorities they have their best interest at heart. This won't last. Principles will beat out race-baiting.

          It's more nuanced and not set in stone, but the broad argument is correct.
