United States: even the Democratic electorate is divided
If
the US election the Republican side appears divided, with the base in
favor of Trump, and the direction it circumvents now openly; no
less important, although less highlighted by the media, it appears the
contrast between the Clinton and Sanders, caused by a different way of
exercising voting within the same social sector. It must be specified that the constituencies to be considered is that of the former middle class and the working class. You
might assume a unique voting, dictated by their social wealth, it
happens that within this sector of American society's preference differs
mainly along ethnic lines. Hillary
Clinton was in the lead for the favor of the upper classes, of course,
but without the vote of African Americans, even the poorest, may not be a
favorite to play the presidential nomination of the Democrats. Clinton
and his entourage did not expect the difficulties that are occurring,
they believed that the battle for the nomination was little more than a
walk, a formality, which was to precede the real battle, the one to take
over the post of US president . They
had calculated the perception induced by the former first lady, in
young people and the working classes, to be an expression of capital,
Wall Street, as she herself admitted, ultimately to be primarily
representative of those financial forces who are the basis of the increased inequality and economic inequality in the country. One
of the major mistakes of the Clinton is that of failing to take account
of the growth of American civic consciousness, which prefers the issues
of economic redistribution, greater social equality and a more relevant
environmental protection as central topics of a political program. Clinton
repeated the cliché dear to the classic Democratic electorate, but are
not enough for the young audience and for a working class frightened by
the past economic crisis produced by the use reckless, if not criminal,
the financial instruments; the
same predominance of finance over production and industrial capacity of
the country is one of the causes of the negative perception of Clinton
by the electorate that found in Sanders considerable relief valve. The
fact that almost all young people, close to eighty percentages are
calculated percent, votes for Sanders, is a reflection factor as
important as the united vote that the working class has expressed
against Clinton; it
is an obvious malaise of a considerable part of the democratic
electorate, which fears the danger of a considerable desertion from the
polls in the case of the former first lady's nomination. What
appears, in fact, it is a fight where the progressive part of does not
identify with the more moderate party and this could weigh in no small
way in the presidential election headquarters. Sanders
expresses his approval of a new feeling of part of the American
electorate, a new political significance also internationally, that will
not be considered by Clinton in the continuation of his campaign. Despite
these objections the favored candidate of the Democratic Party has on
his side the entire African-American public opinion in a compact way:
both the upper classes, and this is understandable, it is the poorest,
who do not feel, however, the need to express their favor as the corresponding part white social. This
favor is probably a legacy of Obama, which was strongly supported by
the African American community and has paid this preference with laws
that tend to alleviate the poverty of the black population status,
however, is not the Clinton and Obama does not seem quite willing to
continue on this road, at least I am trying to hack even more deeply on the profound inequalities present. Despite
all the support of African Americans it is obvious, but to win the
elections will need to invest in the requests coming from the left.
