Former Democratic Senator Jim Webb complains that his party has alienated its base by moving far to the left. Juan Williams and Lisa Boothe analyzed that criticism. "The base of the party," Williams said, "is now black and Latino and educated young people. They are not comfortable with the old parts of the Democratic Party, which was the party of the segregationist South. The party is now more in touch with the changing demographics of the country." But Boothe argued that the Democratic obsession with political correctness has caused irreparable harm. "It's not just the racial identity politics, it's also focusing on transgender bathrooms and climate change. You can see how this has impacted the party by looking at the House of Representatives. More than one-third of House Democrats come from California, Massachusetts, and New York."
