Hillary could be the final nail in the middle-class coffin.

287. The question is

why you find it so troubling that women's interests are addressed? Open my mind to poor white men feeling trivialized? You've got to be fucking kidding me. God forbid a politician acknowledge the majority of the electorate as opposed to focusing entirely on you and those like you. How dare they acknowledge anyone else matters? The nerve.

You resent my reading what you wrote. If you meant something else, that's what you would have written. You are the one who continues, now in three posts to insist there is something wrong about "dividing" American by concerning oneself with the majority as opposed to the minority, the poor oppressed white men who feel so marginalized because politicians acknowledge others matter. If you gave a shit about the 99 percent, you wouldn't be so upset that the Democratic Party--not just Clinton but the entire party--speaks to the concerns of that majority. You wouldn't wring your hands about their appealing to "women and minorities." The only difference in Clinton's appealing to women, people of color, and LGBT Americans is that she also happens to be a woman, which only makes you feel more "trivialized."

What this is about is the fact that you are pissed off that anyone else is addressed. America has changed. As much as you long for the 1950s when the majority was excluded from political consideration and participation, society marches on. You aren't trivialized. You just aren't the only one who counts, and that is what gets in your craw.

I might give a shit about how you felt if you weren't so determined that the rest of America be erased from consideration to satisfy your sense of entitlement. As you rail about how "centrist" and Third Way Democrats are, you attack the party from the right, not the left.
