(62 posts)Yes white male voters especially blue collar voters. Both parties having been ignoring them for decades, they got fed up. Sad because union workers used to be the back bone of the party. Hillary did little to win their support, she might have tried some but her message certainly did not get through. Bernie would have done much better with them as would have Biden. I voted for Hillary but almost noting she proposed was exciting. Progressive positions would benefit the working man a lot more than middle of the road ones. If you look at FDRs 1944 state of union message and what he was proposing it was not much different than Bernie's positions. Over 70 years and we still have not gotten there. I am not a young progressive I am 63.
