The Chuck ToddCast
How Can Democrats Get Their Mojo Back?

And what can we do about it? And if you can't start appealing to these Hispanic working class voters in a place like Texas, your whole political, long-term political strategy starts to fall apart. So, I mean, that's not the only state you want to work in, but it would be an interesting example of a state where you should really take seriously that you should be more competitive there.

And there's a variety of other states where you could argue that Pick a red state at random, where the, you know, purple and then red state, where Democrats don't have a prayer of electing a senator anymore, right? You know, pick out one or two of those and figure out, well, how can we crack this case? Because if we can't crack that case, we're never taking back the Senate.

Working in those states, basically, you're talking about finding a much better white working class, because that's the only way you're probably going to be able to elect senators there. But in Texas, it would be more like the Hispanic working class. So you put those two together, and I think that's a basket of targets you could start working harder on.

Aber ja, wenn man sich einfach an die großen sieben steckt, so genannt, ich denke, das ist, wenn man nur die Grenzen arbeitet, denke ich nicht, dass es wirklich auf die Dinge, die großen Dinge, die geschlossen werden müssen, fokussiert. Du siehst nur, oh, wir machen nur eine marginalere Verbesserung hier oder da und wir sind wieder im Spiel.

The Chuck ToddCast
How Can Democrats Get Their Mojo Back?

Yeah, I agree. I mean, people forget it wasn't that long ago when Democratic presidential candidates used to carry the white working class. It wasn't that all you know. I mean, the big spike was in 2016, but they were losing it even before then.

But it was just, there was all these, like, what we now think of as red, pretty red Midwestern states, where Democrats regularly would carry the white working class, at least by a little bit. And because they're getting hammered so badly among that demographic in those states where they're so large, they don't have a lot of chance.

And of course, you know, they try to make that up, and to some extent they have, with white college-educated voters. I mean, why are the Democrats even competitive in Wisconsin? It's because of white college-educated voters. That's really it.

Well, A, there's more white college-educated voters. I mean, it's just a mix of that thing, right? There's just more of them, and they move pretty sharply in the Democrats' direction. The second thing is that there's more than some of these other states, certainly more than Iowa. I think there's a residual... Populismus, Arbeitsklasse. Ich erinnere mich an die Demokraten.
