How does Democratic Party reinvent itself with white voters?

Do they have to drop the SJW stuff? Talk about the economy?

They need to back off their corporatist ties. Social issues aside, one of the main reasons Democrats lost the support of many working class voters is that those people felt that the party cared less about them and more about corporations.

They finally admit that everything George Wallace and Strom Thurmond said was true and that they were wrong to believe otherwise

It doesn't need to to win a Presidential election.

I have no idea of how long it has been since the Democrats won the majority of the white vote -- 1964? That was the last election in which Democrats got 400+ electoral votes. Democrats could win over 400 electoral votes by winning every state that Clinton actually won or lost by less than 10% in 2016 (Texas straddles 400 electoral votes for a Democrat, where it has been from the 1990s on).

What Democrats cannot afford to do is to lose the  white vote by an overwhelming majority. They can basically write off the Mountain and Deep South because the white electorate in those states seems to vote on identity instead of issues. But they must address economic issues outside the Mountain and Deep South well enough to not lose an overwhelming majority of white voters.

Republicans are in incredibly deep trouble if they lose educated white people as they have lost educated blacks, Hispanics, Asian-Americans. Jews, and Muslims. Watch the suburban vote in 2020. The tendency exists even in Alabama, where Doug Jones won heavily in suburbs of Birmingham and in the well-educated cities Tuscaloosa and Huntsville.

What do Republicans have to offer? An abortion ban? Creationism? Tax cuts that serve only the economic elites? Sexism?

I have no daughter, but I would not want a creep like Roy Moore or Donald Trump getting anywhere near mine if she were a teenager.

They can't as long as they remain the party of working people and White people remain disproportionately more educated and wealthier than racial minorities.

Care to elaborate?

This is, quite clearly and irrefutably, the correct solution.

Embracing Bernie style economic policy could work. This was his core base in 2016, and I am sure another progressive will win the group in 2020 over Joe Biden. There are many union WWCs the Dems could win back.

Start being strong on immigration plus adopt some of Richard Ojeda's message and character

Wait for the electorate to become younger and more college-educated.

[Tartarus Sauce]

They don't need to, generational replacement is naturally shifting college educated whites into their column.
