Why are we angry?

[HassleCat]

This is the year of the angry white man, according to the source linked below. Thanks to the Clinton group for alerting us to this. Anyway, it's not clear why we're angry. It's also not clear why the previous "year of the angry white man" events are so quickly forgotten. What is clear, according to the article, is that Sanders getting angry white male (AWM) is bad because it negates Clinton's advantage among women and minority voters. See how that works? If a candidate appeals to women and minorities, and depends on those demographics to win, that's good, probably because we assume that candidate will do something special or meaningful for the voters who supporter him or her. If another candidate vacuums up the remaining votes, the AWM votes, that's bad, probably because we can assume that candidate will do something to hurt women and minorities.

Welcome to racial politics, folks. If you want to see it done right, go back and read some of Marion Berry's speeches. What we're seeing here is just the tip of the iceberg, because mainstream candidates who play racial politics don't want to appear to be playing racial politics. But it still boils down to, "You better vote for me because the other candidate is supported by angry white men."

Oh, almost forgot. The AWM thing also makes Sanders just like Trump.

The pic of Saint Ronnie just ices the cake.....

While most immigrants seek to remain Legal Permanent Residents, this program will engage those eligible for U.S. Citizenship to become part of the United States by integrating them while they learn English and at the same time learn conservative values found in our U.S. Constitution.

Get 'em early, brainwash 'em good.

2. Apparently demanding a living wage is considered sexist and racist.

They think everything is sexist and racist.They have cried wolf too many times. It is falling on deaf ears. Hillary certainly doesn't have this woman's support.

6. That article isn't touting Clinton. It's touting the GOP POV, but they don't like Trump either.

Short version--Trump beats Sanders, Trump beats Clinton. But they don't love Trump...so there ya go.

3. Wrong

You cannot link angry white male voters to Sanders. You can with Trump -- but definitely not Sanders. You are probably a Hillary supporter. I'm reading many posts from her supporters quoting "angry white men." Don't loop Sanders in with Trump. They are so different. You're grasping for something to hold onto, and the AWM theme is one thing the Hillary folks are relying on. It won't work. Vote Bernie.

4. I am disillusioned. Tired. But...wiser.

No TV. No newspaper. As much time as I can find with my wife and hobbies and pets. As much time as I can among nature.

I've never trusted any politician...the system is broken beyond repair.

7. don't know about that as regards Sanders but

I've been thinking for some time that Donald Trump can be explained by the fact that 30% of the country still can't deal with the fact that the president is black.

9. This "Everything I do is evil because I'm a white man" BS has got to stop.

I'm sick and tired of this fertilizer. How can progressivism survive in America if nobody believes that I can ever BE one.
You're gonna need my brilliant, if unbalanced, mind. You're gonna need my warm and tender heart. And I know damn well your going to need my overflowing compassion.

You want progressivism to survive? You're gonna need ME.
