It is obvious that Democrats have failed to succeed in the rust belt, because of racism and xenophobia. We need to appeal to the reasonable moderate conservatives, who just want reasonable things like privatized education and lower taxes for themselves. In addition, Obama showed us that we need to have minority candidates to turn out minority voters.
That is why I've decided to support Castro/Castro 2020
First of all, with regard to the part of your quote I bolded, a majority of Democrats do not support privatizing education and do not at all find it reasonable. {using for privatizing education will completely alienate the Democratic base. Second of all, we haven't failed in the rust belt. We have more Senators from the Rust Belt than we do the Sunbelt and we only lost the three deciding states in the rust belt by a percentage or less, and we lost them because our nominee did what you're suggesting now tried to appeal to "reasonable" moderate Conservatives in the Sun Belt and it failed. Hillary lost Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and even Florida by bigger margins than she did Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. I agree Demographic changes in the Sun Belt will help the Democrats, but they aren't happening fast enough and retiring white baby boomers and when they retire, white gen xrs, will keep the Sun Belt States (especially Florida and Arizona) competitive for the GOP. I agree that a minority candidate on the Democratic ticket would be a huge benefit and help with minority turn out, but a ticket lacking a minority candidate on the top or bottom of the ticket won't by itself kill the Democrats chances either.
