When you consider spokespersons for the Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters, it's easy to see the Democrat's problem, that is a total lack of credibility.

Democrats and Republicans don't have to be in touch with anyone other then their money people. At least until we get electoral reform (imo).

Here are my favorite electoral​ reform videos, open to others if you have them:

First Past The Post Voting

Range Voting

The Green Primary

Single Transferable Vote

Jewish money and socialism, Blacks' dream of equality with whites, Cat lady empathy.

Not a great basis for a national party.

Nonetheless, Bernie Sanders is the most popular living politician in America. Go figure.

The problem is most people have no fucking clue how personal finances work, or even how a small taxation amount of 1-2% adds up over time. Example, i had a guy in class, who was explaining how he would support a 5% tax to fund some female birth control movement proposed by Sanders in the primaries. The idea being that we pay a small amount now, for gains later. First of all, this as always shits on men by treating them as nothing more than money dispensers. But more importantly, the highest tax payers pay 40-45% of their income in some form of federal tax. Now you want to tell them they have to pay even MORE money for something they will never get? The more insidious problem, is that these policies being touted by hyper liberals will never, in a million years affect them since most of the will never, ever reach a point where these taxes would affect them. The phaseout limit would "conveniently" be over their own income tax. We see this time and time again, be it with the ACA subsidies, and EITC. Its nothing more than virtue signalling on someone else's dime. Sanders is popular because most people dont have a job, and have absoltely fuck all of a clue about how finances work.

The obvious reason for this is that the party consists entirely of elite liberals and minorities. They have abandoned the most of the middle class/working class white Americans who built the nation.

Yep, the Democratic party used to be the party of blue collar, working class whites. People like plumbers and carpenters and coal miners, they were the bedrock of the Democrat vote.

Now Democrats are the party of gays, blacks, Mexicans, and single mothers.

Exactly.

At least Bill Clinton had the political savvy to at least pay lip service to the middle class.

Obama was America's first Affirmative Action hire - and you can't expect a black guy to understand the value of hard work in the first place.

...and Hillary Clinton doesn't give a fuck about you, pure and simple. I have never seen a more self-serving politician in my life. She was the Marie Antoinette of American politics.

The Democrats have gotten exactly what they deserve.

The last good Democrat was Grover Cleveland. The Democrats have deserved far less than they've had for over a century.
