"Democrats have been thinking a lot of late about how to be more authentic.
Since the disastrous results of last November, the party’s been brooding over why Republicans now seem to have significantly more success appealing to working-class voters, rural voters, Black and brown voters, young voters and especially young male voters — basically all voters who aren’t relatively well-off and well-educated and clustered in or close to cities, coasts or college towns. I’ve talked this year to dozens and dozens of Democratic operatives, elected officials and aspiring candidates, and it’s safe to say they’re tormented by what their brand’s become. “We’re failing across the board because fundamentally the Democratic Party is a machine that is built by a bunch of Ivy League grads to talk to a bunch of Ivy League grads,” said a Democratic consultant to whom I granted anonymity “because I don’t know how to say this in a way that won’t ruin my career.”"
