What's this?

Obama's internal election forecaster says the same thing, that's where

this guy got it from, he references the interview linked below in the article. The coalition doesn't work as far as winning legislative power w/o an Obama that can win non-college whites, and the party isn't good at distinguishing between popular urban hipster messages (Loan Shark Prevention Act) and unpopular (Defund the Police, Affirmative Action in CA.)

-

“We have an election system that makes it basically impossible for Democrats’ current coalition to ever wield legislative power,” says Shor. “We are legitimately in a position from here on out where we would need to get 54 percent of the popular vote — which we did not even accomplish this time — for multiple cycles in a row, for us to be in a position to really pass laws.”
