Correct, my point and the point of the article I am citing is that there are outflows of vorers from the Democratic base (I hesitate to say party, because, clearly these people aren't Democrats as much as at-best-former-democrats) leaving the Democratic party to be more and more white, wealthy, and educated.

I believe we are seeing the beginning of the end of the Democratic party as we know it.



It's just kind of stupid analysis. And definitely not "the beginning of the end of the Democratic party as we know it".

Biden got 87% of the black male vote, Harris got around 78%. And yes, that is a 9% swing. But there were less voters overall as well. And I'd also hesitate to extrapolate a trend from a single data point. Because Hillary Clinton got 81% of black men. Closer to Harris than Biden.

But when the Republican party showed these "outflows of voters", no one talked about the death of the Republican party.

So, yeah, just stupid analysis.
