This guy is a genius. Read the whole thing. But basically, his entire premise of why Libtards are electorally fucked is summed up in this singular truth:

... it’s easier for right-wing parties to move left on economics than for left-wing parties to move right on culture.

As in:

That is, left-wing parties cannot move to the vote-rich zone of most electorates where the median voter—typically somewhat conservative on culture and centre-left on economics—resides. Conservatives can do so more easily as they are less beholden to libertarian economic orthodoxy than left-wing parties are to progressive cultural values.

Identity politics and multiculturalism are central motivating forces for the highly-educated activists who have dominated left-wing parties since the ’68 generation rose to prominence. These ideas tend to be considerably less popular than the Left’s economic offer, hence the bind the Left finds itself in.

"[The] eight percent of the American population whom the Hidden Tribes study categorises as Progressive Activists." Why cater to such small group of fanatics who blow up at the slightest provocation? It has not helped the Democrats.
