We need two moderate minority southwesterners to win

[GlobeSoc]

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

Dems should not leave rust belt for sun belt.
A populist dems will win IA, WI,OH,MI,PA back in 2020.
Even an establishment dem will have way better chance of winning in PA,WI,MI  than in AZ, GA in 2020
Dems will not win TX in 2020.
Trump Approval rating already in mid 30s in  three closest states of 2016. His approval rating only 42% in iowa.
Mid western states plus PA have 12 senate seats that can't be compensated by Az,Ga. Dems will never have a senate majority if they left rust belt to gop.

The Midwest elected folks like Scott Walker and Pat Toomey and quite frankly I'm done with Wississippi and Pennsyltucky. Texas/Georgia/Arizona/Florida moderates are where the enlightened folk frolic.

The Mid west also give us Sherod Brown, and so called Wissisipi give us our first lgbt senator, Mn give us Al Franklen.They voted for Obama twice.
ThereforeTherefore, we should not leave rust belt for bad result in one election.
Gop did not leave MI in 2008 when they lost by 17. Gop did not leave WI when they lost by 14. Gop did not leave PA when they lost by 11. Gop did not leave IA when they lost by 9.5. Indiana saw 21 points swing against gop but they did not leave it.
Learn something from your enemy.
Dems need rust belt for senate majority.

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.

This post is so obviously sarcastic, and largely a parody of the "muh demographics" and the "muh fiscally conservative suburbanite Democratic Party" analyses that are all too common on Atlas (and much of the Internet, really).
