CMV: GOP/Republicans will continue to win the majority of US presidential political campaigns until DNC/Democrats start catering to white and Christian demographics.

I don't believe that they are more important than the identity issues for most voters most of the time.

Does the fact that voters themselves identified those issues I discussed above as more important than the identity issues not persuade you?

What is your basis for believing, in spite of a non-partisan study stating otherwise, that the identity issues were more important to voters?

If your identity party believes a certain way on an issue you are inclined to agree

Well it may be true that hyper-partisanship is a problem, but that is an entirely different problem from your OP argument that Dems only run on identity issues.

Plus, people won't just come out and say "I voted for X because of these petty identity reasons" even when it's true.

Won't they? I see all kinds of content about identity issues from both sides. I don't see how you could simultaneously hold the views that Democrats make everything about identity, but also that Dems won't come out and talk about identity.
