I mean I would put it this way, the left is the coalition of the ascendant economically / politically / culturally since the education sort. What it means to be on the losing end, to be descending into the social / economic abyss, is kind lost for the most part on the modern Democratic Party. Given that political power is heavily biased toward geography, catering ideologically only to the most educated coastal city dwellers is at best a formula to slowly lose out against fascism. At some point, the fact that territory is so heavily weighted in the American political system will win out, it's our political laws of physics. It may feel satisfying to write off a huge section of the country but it's also a long term strategy that will ultimately suck the life out of Democrats / left and doom Democracy.
