re: Question for Democrats concerning strategy

Why did the party go all in on fringe groups and minorities at the expense of their northern Midwest working class base. I mean the blacks, gays, illegal immigrants, Moslems, transsexuals, environmental whackos etc. are going to vote dem 99% of the time no matter what.

Labor is typically been a reliable base from a turnout standpoint and the knew this election would come down to a very small percentage of voters, so they had to focus on those that typically don't turn out as well. Basically the same reason Trump didn't steer too far away from right fringe elements. It was a complete miss from a data research perspective.
