The midterm elections did not give Democrats a singular leader to rally behind, nor did it settle ideological divides in the party. But the results can tell us a lot about the mood among Democratic voters, and what they might be looking for in a 2020 presidential nominee.
First, much hay has been made about the choice between progressives on one hand and moderates or “centrists” on the other. You could read the midterms results as vindication for the latter; outspoken progressives like Kara Eastman in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District and Leslie Cockburn in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District fell short, while a large number of self-described moderate Democrats flipped Republican-held seats in contests across the country.

Wow, 76% of the population is white. They must be counting on a hell of a lot of illegals.

It’s uncanny how the party of slave owning white men went full circle only to bite itself in the ass.

The Democrat “Women of Color” are apparently wanting white women to step aside for them.
If white women ever decide they have more interests in common with their fathers, husbands, and sons than they do with “Women of Color”, then the Democrat party is in trouble.
Hell, if Jewish Democrats ever wake up, the Democrats are in trouble.

Too bad LA Mayor Garcetti and Governor-elect Gavin Newsom. Unless you identify as something feminine and colorful.

Democrats Have Made One Thing Very Clear About 2020: They’re Over White Men We should support efforts by Democrats to destroy white men in their party. We should urge Democrats to severely beat any white men in their party, especially the rich ones who donate money to their party.
I'm all in favor of this. I think this will be good for America.
No more white male democrat candidates! Only Women and whatsits! All existing white male democrat officeholders should give up their seats to more deserving women and whatsits.
