In particular, I have consistently fought against Democratic politicians chasing around after the angry white man vote while telling black Democrats to just sit tight and wait - that this is necessary in order to grow a larger Democratic majority and THEN they'll be able to stand up for what's right. of course, that doesn't happen because those angry white men need to be fed and watered and they don't want the party doing those things and since them that brung 'em are afraid they'll leave and take their votes with them, they keep pulling their punches in order not to lose them.

I don't object to Sanders' tactic lightly or from a place of inexperience. Contrary to the view of many of his supporters who seem to think he invented politics, Sen. Sanders is not the first Democrat to try this. it always fails, but not before it insults and alienates the most loyal members of the base, who are the most likely to pull any candidate over the finish line but who continually have to put up with this crap.
