• Who Represents the Majority Any More?

  I was browsing the internet in class one day (I don’t pay
  much attention), when my “surfing” brought me to the official Democratic Party
  web page. I was putzing around until I came across the “people” subcategory.
  Take a look:

  

  I see a very striking problem in this list. Specifically,
  there is no category for the white, middle-class, male American. I know I am
  categorized under “young people and students,” but I don’t plan to be that way
  forever. I plan to become a middle-class citizen, or, if I’m lucky, an
  upper-class citizen (yeah, right). Does this mean that the Democratic Party
  does not represent me? The so-called “Chairman” sure looks like a white,
  middle-class, male American (I should confirm that). Does that mean that only some white, middle-class, male Americans
  are represented? How can I confirm if the people represented by this party
  include me? I should “contact” them about this pressing issue.
