The path forward for the Democratic party is very simple.
1. Play to your base and enact policies that will positively impact people of color. These policies will also help the white working class.
2. The DNC needs to be run by a person like Stacey or someone that will focus on voter registration and engagement year round.
3. Micro Targeting voters of color and putting dollars in the pocket of groups doing this work. You can't roll through a barbershop two weeks before an election and think that will help. Trump to his credit was doing this work which is why he got higher support amongst people of color this time.
4. Stop wasting time courting racists. Bernie tried and it doesn't work. They love democratic policies but hate that the party is diverse.
5. Run the right candidates in the right races. A blue dog like Joe Manchin is better than a scumbag like Mitchell. We can't think a run size fits all model will work.
