Dems, keep an eye out for this doc …. Seth London, an adviser to Democratic donors and veteran of Obama’s campaigns and White House, has written a blistering memo aimed at the party’s elected officials pleading with them to learn the lessons of this election. “Parts of the Democratic establishment accepted as gospel the myth that elections are won by mobilizing the ‘base’ through appeals to group, not individual, identities,” London wrote in the 3½-page memo, which I obtained. Calling for a new cadre of “Common Sense Democrats,” London said the reform movement should “begin with a complete rejection of race- and group-based identity politics and a wholesale embrace of a politics centered on delivering the American dream through simple, concrete action.”

@NickRiccardi We can tell two stories -- (1) huge, historic Latino swings, (2) uniform swing across demos that actually determined the election -- without conflating them. That's the kind of political education we need from our reporters & political scientists.

Progressive identity politics -- appealing to groups of voters based on racial threat or grievance, and targeting them with specific benefits -- is just totally cooked. It's not winning over Hispanics and Asians; it's pushing them away. Put a fork in it. noahpinion.blog/p/identity-pol…
