> a mistake for Dems to give up on civil rights issues
It's difficult to summarize why they've lost the election. But it's probable their focus on wrong civil right issues made them lose, when those rights were exaggerated. Some of those rights alienated voters the point that people preferred voting for a (let's be honest) stupid spoiled child than for the Dems. It's important to choose the correct civil right issues to fight for when you're running Dems, perhaps when fighting against "privileges" and 90% of the population ends up in one of the "privilege buckets", that may be a sign that the threshold for the notion of "privileges" goes way too far. Same goes for safe spaces, authorized speech (James Damore), overprotection of minorities, I wonder what would have come if the Dems left all this "privilege hate" aside and their program went just "Let's extend Obamacare and drop the TTIP".
That would truely help minorities yet not be hate speech against the so-said "privileged".
