There are more Democrats in the US than Republicans, although non-registered and Independents are increasing faster than both parties.
Elderly people are more likely to be Republicans. Younger voters tend to be Democrats. Elderly die at a faster rate than youth.
Democrats gained seats in the US house and the US Senate this election over Republicans. A Democrat won the popular vote for US president but lost the electoral vote.
Democrats do need a recharge and the party knows this. It starts at the grass roots level. Democrats need good candidates to run at the local level, especially in rural and suburban areas. Often there is no Democrat running in these races and the Republican that wins the R primary is the unchallenged winner in the general election.
Democrats also need to come up with an effective plan to increase turnout during mid-term non-presidential years. This is how a lot of the senate/house races go to Rs. The Ds have much lower turnout during these years.
I am sure the Democrats don't want to be tainted by racism and ignorance anyways ... unlike the Republicans who will sell their soul to the devil and sacrifice their firstborn just to win an election.
Is winning at all costs worth losing the moral high ground?

I think we have lost some young voters, at least temporarily, to candidates who claim to be libertarian, but really aren't when it comes right down to it.
Other than that, I think you are correct.
I know one thing for certain: time will tell. It wasn't so long ago that liberals were proclaiming the death of the Republican party. They were wrong, and I strongly suspect those on the right crowing about the demise of liberalism are just as wrong today.
