Reply #4: I've noticed this as well - especially in this election [View All]

There has become a sense of disenfranchisement of the working class. Obama has called them "bitter" and "Gun-clinging" and yet Hillary has gone and insisted that only whites work. Both front-runners have abandoned the people that got them to where they are. The working class and poor have always been the backbone of the Democratic Party, and without those votes, it will be impossible to win in November.

The Party is in a place right now where they have to re-energize and find their footing again. In the 80s there was the Resurgence of Conservatism, and I feel like this election will need to be the Revitalization of Liberalism -when the Democrats return to championing the working class, poor, and downtrodden. We need to return to our Populist roots, and go back to the core social values of equality and nonviolence.
