Following the defeat of Hillary Clinton in the presidential
election of 2016, many prominent scholars and political pundits
argued that a successful Democratic Party in the future must
abandon identity politics. While these calls for Democrats to
distance themselves from such strategies have received much
attention, there is scant academic work that empirically tests
whether nonracial campaigns provide an advantage to Democrats
today. As Christopher Stout explains, those who argue for
deracialized appeals to voters may not be considering how several
high-profile police shootings and acquittals, increasing evidence
of growing racial economic disparities, retrenchments on voting
rights, and the growth of racial hate groups have made race a more
salient issue now than in the recent past. Moreover, they fail to
account for how demographic changes in the United States have made
racial and ethnic minorities a more influential voting bloc. The
Case for Identity Politics finds that racial appeals are an
effective form of outreach for Democratic candidates and enhance,
rather than detract from, their electability in our current
political climate.
