Good question from Greider at The Nation.

But is Hillary ready for us?

His articles are thoughtful, and he has been recognizing this new anger for a long time.

Democrats, at least most modern Dems, don’t do “anger” very well. It makes them uncomfortable. Most of them would rather talk “hope and change.” Democratic candidates tried to make “hope and change” their theme in 2014 but got shellacked. Their rhetoric was hopelessly at odds with the painful evidence in their own lives.
