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.
