Democrats can appeal to about 49% of the popular vote in the next election and they will need to resort to force. That means they will have to let go of some their radical left.

@okaybut We held the popular vote last time, before Trump basically embarrassed our country with scandal after scandal. The Republicans would want to get rid of their racist right connections. Difficult with the POTUS leading them.

@bijouxbroussard But not enough to overtake the smaller states and the Electoral College (48.2% to about 49% should do it). I am not sure the Republicans can shed their racist right. And that means the Democrats could very easily win the next election if they just move to a more moderate ideology and connect with the working poor (ie. the swing states that Trump very masterfully took last election).
