Jane is part of the problem.  Racism, misogyny and homophobia are symptoms of the problem, not the problem itself.  The real problem is a false focus on the outliers.  When you put 10% of your effort in solving a problem that affects 0.1% of the population, the 99.9% notice.

Not 0.1%, but more like 80%. Women, blacks, hispanics, gays, etc. White men are the outliers. The whites are going to have to suck up. Instead of rebelling against the inevitable and rising diversity, they will have to join it and rebel against the real 1%, the owners of this country who are the enemy of all of us. Democrats must work harder to get their economic message out to whites and in the Rust Belt. They will have to keep their diversity focus too.

Hillary had the right message and focus. She was just not the best messenger, compared to the showman. P.T. Barnum knew that there's a sucker born every minute, and P.T. Drumpf knew it too. So, what the Demos need is a better showman! That's what Americans like in their candidates. Seth Meyers? Michael Moore?

White men can continue to be "a pawn in their game," as Bob Dylan described them 55 years ago. Or they can join the opposing team and make their lives better. And I agree, the diverse and female folks will have to join with the white working class in this movement, and not only be concerned with their own issues. It's called alliance. That's how wars and revolutions are won. It's how elections are won. We need to remember that.

Bernie is still the leader. Do as he does. Speak up for the working class, and at the same time say that bigotry is not acceptable and will be resisted every step of the way.
