Obama won because he had huge support among young voters, hispanic voters (despite immigration) & working class whites in key states like OH, WI, etc.

Obama won because was also a great orator who could connect with people after a Bush presidency, financial collapse, Iraq war, etc. For all his black turnout, he couldn't flip 1 single Southern state with big black population like GA or others. You don't need a black candidate to win PA or WI or MI.

If Dems continue to run candidates based on identity politics, then this party deserves to be run to this ground.

This is in many ways reverse racism, selection of candidates based on pure identity. What do you actually stand for? People who are supporting them should be ashamed of these racist ideas!
