A Recent History of the Democratic Party
I meant to post this several days ago but got sidetracked. Alex Seitz-Wald of NBC News did an excellent story on the history and demographic/social forces behind the Democratic Party’s current woes, with data, graphics and charts to show it. The whole thing is well worth reading to understand how and why the Democrats got to their current predicament. This story is arguably better and more insightful than any post-election autopsy.
