America has a progressive, multiracial majority. Right now!

Why this man says Democrats should stop worrying about white swing voters
http://wapo.st/1QdxDoO


Many articles and analyses look to a distant date when the United States will become a “majority-minority” nation. ..... There are two major problems with emphasizing the point when whites will lose their majority status. First, it presumes that all white people are and will continue to be at odds with all people of color [politically], which is untrue and unfounded. A meaningful minority of whites have always sided with people of color throughout U.S. history.

The second problem is ..... when you add together the number of today’s people of color (the vast majority of whom are progressive) and progressive whites. It’s this calculation that reveals that America has a progressive, multiracial majority right now that has the power to elect presidents and reshape American politics, policies and priorities for decades to come — not in 2044, not 10 years down the road. Today.
