The Democratic party as we know it is finished....just like the Republicans of 2012 no longer exist. Both parties will adapt (and might even do an about face on certain positions!) to the times.
It will take a long time. The Democratic party infrastructure is staffed with upper-middle class, urban white millennials. They're the ones dictating a large chunk of party policy, and the Biden's of the world are just following along.
Trading working and middle class Hispanics for a small share of white suburbanites is a terrible trade to make. Obama's electoral college advantage has completely collapsed. I have a hard time seeing how they can pivot when their intellectual class considers these foundational moral issues.
