After $23M spent on the loss of the centrist, business friendly candidate in Georgia, I’m curious what it is that the party has learned. From my point of view, with the exception of some lovely rhetoric and a few nominal wins for people that aren’t millionaires, we have a party that doesn’t engage and understand politics outside of the 1%. What if we could take data and follow the policies of the Democratic Party’s last 30 years through to their logical conclusions and see what outcomes we’ll experience? What if someone already did that and predicted Brexit, Donald Trump, the failure of the Italian constitutional referendum, the rise of the National Front in France, and the rise of the AfD in Germany? Should we at least hear what he has to say? Are there racists? Yes. Are there sexists? Yes. Are the bigots of every stripe? Yes. Is there something else we’re missing? It might be worth looking into.
Some data from the last 30 years of both parties. Mark Blyth speaking to Congress... (copy and paste, the original owner doesn’t allow third party viewing, but really worth watching :)

There are more like this guy, do we have a message for them?:
Do we want them in our party? Might help with the winning of elections side of politics…
