    I think the anger needs to be focused on the Democratic party leaders and apparatus for being elitist in their thinking ignoring the constituency and losing the blue collar vote. They have increasingly catered to the college educated with predictable results.

      Hogwash. They have catered to the dwindling number of alleged moderate Republicans. There is no reason that you cannot appeal to both the college educated and those without a degree.

      Agreed, with the caveat that we don’t need anger. Anger is fine, of course, but we need a sense of purpose. The realization that the DNC is a force for corporate greed, that we cannot support it or expect it to save us, and the determination to go in a different direction.
