I've stated many times that The Dems can expect to be in minority status for at least a generation to come. This only extends it out further. If they don't get their act together and change, make that prediction several generations.

I hope they will not make the mistake of the European Left to shift to the moderate center right due to popular opinion, only to be still called "socialists" and make the extreme rightwing look like an acceptable choice. This is a matter of standing by what one knows to be true, rather than relying on opinion polls and following the trend of engaging former actors to feed the masses their own prejudices.
New strategies need to be formed to combat the phenomenon of Neo Con hate-propaganda reminiscent of that employed by the Nazis.
If you believe the rightwingers in the bearpit provide a new benchmark for the blind following the ignorant, you haven't read the foulmouthed crap the fanatics spout in other forums.
