Democrats have for generations tried to cobble together coalitions. Had Hillary won, it would have been with the most amazing coalition of immigrants, gays, transgenders, women, labor unionists, you name it.
All Trump needed was white, high school educated men and their wives and girlfriends. That's maybe 35-45% of the nation.
Republicans have not run on bringing us all together, we are stronger united, stronger together. They have run on "take America back" and "make America great again," which translates into, let white guys take control again and suppress everyone else.
Democrats should, I would argue, have to, run as a force not interested in compromise or reaching across the aisle or ending gridlock by being willing to talk and shift positions. That worked for Barack Obama, but that was before Trump.
Now it's simply us against them.
We should not be interested in going to Washington to compromise in the interest of getting things moving again.
We are only interested in overwhelming this Neo Nazi Republican party and replacing them, not talking to them.
