    I guess Bernie doesn't know that White people make up majority of the poor in this country.

    If you don't like the establishment so much, just abstain. Just because Trump is anti establishment doesn't mean he is a good choice. If it's a choice between mayo and sour cream, I'm not eating.

    So what do you think the problem is? Do you think they're just lazy? Or do you think they're cutting backroom deals that don't follow their ideals? Or do you think they won't work with anybody? I hear the battle cry a lot but I'm trying to understand what exactly you guys are mad about with respect to the "washington insiders".

    I like both but I wouldn't put mayo on a baked potato and I wouldn't put sour cream on a sandwich

    because they make up the overwhelming majority of the population

    the real question is what is percentage for each race:

    http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/poverty-rate-by-raceethnicity/

    White 10 %
    Black 26 %
    Hispanic 24 %

    For people of color to be roughly 2 1/2 times more likely to be impoverished, that's a problem. In southern states like Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia (considered by many to be quite racist in nature, the number approaches 3 times as much for both black and hispanic people).

    Most of that is caused by Democrat policies of the past 40-50 years oppressing the very people that vote for them, so they can continue to vote for them since they tout themselves as the only party that cares. Endless cycle of a very sad situation.
