Populist Reform of the Democratic Party
In reply to the discussion: old white guy [View all]F4lconF16
(3,747 posts)He's been fully supportive of all of these issues. He may not be overly vocal about him, but he is vocal about just about everything, if that makes sense. For an older, straight, white male? He's pretty good. He's got excellent voting records--better than most Dems, I think. I think he genuinely listens to people, and I can't imagine he hasn't heard the concerns of the minority communities, even if he does not live their experiences. He cares for humanity, and it's not an exclusive humanity like too many often are. I hope that as the race heats up, he doesn't focus exclusively on economic class issues as a campaign issues. Social class problems are going to need to be front and center--this needs to be a worker's movement. My concern is that he's going to very quickly fall prey to the "God bless America" patriotic nationalistic god-loving crap that's expected of the president. It's a relatively minor issue, but then again, with people actively trying to instill a patriarchal theocracy, maybe it isn't. My dream is for him to come out as an atheist (after he's the president, of course :evilgrin .
