The Democrats built a great coalition for winning the White House, and it may prove to be quite durable. What this last round of midterms taught us, however, is that our presidential coalition will simply not work on the local level, and that the party is going to have to change.
I’m already finding myself outside of the progressive consensus on how the party should change, but I’m definitely more in their camp than any other.
I have a feeling that talking about this is going to be my project for the next year or so.
