If they follow that logic they’ll never win, because the number of people who will unconditionally vote Dem is demonstrably not enough to win an election.
They court voters all the time. They don’t court nonvoters.
They conveniently designate those they don’t want to listen to as nonvoters, and pay no actual attention to whether the demographics they ignore are voters or not. “They don’t vote” is a pretext and has never been anything else.
Until the election has passed and they haven’t voted, only then are they nonvoters. Before the election, calling them nonvoters is just an excuse to ignore them.
Are you fucking serious? I have better things to do than engage with whatever this is, but you should really think hard about a lot of things if you really believe what you just said.
Yes, I’m serious. Are you? Because “Democrats will never win” is about as serious as someone who says “The 49ers will never win” after watching last week’s game.

They don’t care about winning if it means lowering themselves to the level of trying to court voters.
They court voters all the time. They don’t court nonvoters.
For the same reason, campaigns don’t depend on getting youth to finally turn out to vote. It’s a strategy that has never worked.

They don’t have to “designate” people as nonvoters. A nonvoter is someone who doesn’t vote. Nonvoters designate themselves.

No, there is a specific term for people like that: “First time voters”. And they are courted by all parties.
It’s never occurred to you that parties need to actually try to retain voters to keep them from staying home in disgust?
Again, the vast majority of nonvoters are politically disengaged. They don’t stay home out of disgust, they stay home because they don’t care.
Democrats won over 200 federal elections last month. Believe it or not, Harris was not the only Democrat on the ballot.
That 200 wasn’t enough to keep the Senate or win the House so I’m not sure what your point is.
The point is that “Democrats will never win” is obviously false, since many of them win every year.
