It's difficult to develop a strategy to address that alienation without an understanding of its causes.

gay and women to get to the back of the bus.

we can all stand forefront, without some of us being shoved behind.

that would be a start

i am all for the inclusiveness of our liberal men.

until they tell me about my reproductive rights or how insignificant they are at this time cause the all mighty dollar is more important.

I haven't been able to find any yet, and since you are bringing this subject up on a daily basis, and are so obviously well educated in this subject, I was hoping that you wouldn't mind helping me out.

Again, would you please provide some evidence that liberal populist men are telling blacks, gays, and women to get to the back of the bus? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

"the alienation of liberal men from the Democratic Party"

Where and by whom?

"There are elements of the party that seek to denigrate men and silence men's voices about issues that affect them"

Name them.

This liberal man has been active in the party for years and I've never seen what you claim to be true.

I'm liberal, and I'm a man and any alienation I've had from the Democratic party has had nothing to do with being a man, being denigrated for being a man, or having my voice 'silenced' for being a man.

And what are 'our' issues as men that are not being addressed? I'm all ears.

Liberal men know what's up and would scoff at your OP.

Yes, there are a couple of arseholes who twist issues into a pretzel, but liberal men are smart and can see beyond that.

Have a nice day!

And of course, you don't want to even explain the cause of these liberal men's unhappiness.
Let me guess- it's other people wanting to be heard too? How dare they!

So, I'm a liberal man, and if Hillary Clinton is the nominee, I'll be campaigning for her in a serious way, as I will for Sanders, if he is the nominee. You must not have been around DU very much if you think "liberal men" won't support whoever is the nominee. Democrats don't play that.

Your post is way off the mark, to say the least. Next time, you might want to try a more subtle approach. This one fails.
