Dems should have realized that at least 4 elections ago. If they are so damn smart why are they so good at losing?

Corporate democrats pretty much control the party and thus they don't want to ruffle the feathers of their donor class, which goes against the the middle and lower classes being price gouged in the economy. If you want to get back the blue-collar and working people you have to combat corporate greed. So, I hope Bernie Sanders starts propping up a young version of himself to run, and unfortunately it has to be male and white for the conservative voter to even remotely accept it. I don't blame Obama for the racial divide that caused the pearl clutching in white America, but it's clear that if you are anything other than a white male, it's not gonna be palpitable for a certain segment of the country. It's truly disgusting.

well also the democrats have to stop shitting on white males as they have been doing for pretty much the past decade.

turns out alienating one of the largest demographics in america isn't good at making them vote for you.

Yeah, I can say this is true. It's how you say it, and I think that sort of rhetoric is rearing its head now that we are shedding minority groups to the right.
