NYT: Working-Class Disgust with Democrats Hitting 'Dangerous Levels'

Progressive New York Times columnist Thomas B. Edsall wrote on Tuesday that Democrats' embrace of Obamacare's redistribution scheme has angered and alienated working-class and middle-class Americans.

"Even though midterm elections favor Republicans, the 2014 results show middle and working-class dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party rising to dangerous levels, which threatens the party's growing demographic advantages," wrote Edsall.

As Breitbart News reported last Wednesday, the latest Gallup poll finds that President Barack Obama's approval rating with working-class white voters has hit an all-time low 27%. Moreover, the Gallup poll's findings were taken from opinion data collected prior to racially-charged riots in Ferguson, Missouri.

Yup, it looks like the NY Times will now support the Republicans </sarc>

[Doogle]

snake oil man is out of oil

[Regulator]

They’ve been attacking the American working class for 50 years now, you’d think people would get it eventually

[Blood of Tyrants]

“Working class”. Well that leaves out most of Ferguson.

[right way right]

The working class use to be middle class.
Just an observation.

[Kenton]

Funny, Obama has been claiming to be the champion of the middle class for so long, maybe Joe Lunchbucket finally figured out he's forgotten about the white working class.

Not that he cares about the middle class, either, of course...

[MeshugeMikey]

those shop owners in Ferguson Missouri were working class...

I sense that there are a lot of people out there deeply sympathizing with their plight..openly and otherwise.

To be a democrat now is to identify oneself as a crook, purse and simple.

[Da Coyote]

Oops, that’s “pure and simple”.

You just can’t take me anywhere.

[AFreeBird]

Crook and purse seem to go together in this context.

[Salvey]

I like purse and simple better.

[Dick Bachert]

It seems SOME of us are veeerrrrryyyyy sloooooow learners!

I wonder if THIS idiot had something to do with the problem?

[Blood of Tyrants]

You would think so. The DemocRats want to create two classes of people. The ruling elite and their favored sycophants and the peasants who support their lavish lifestyles. Just like in the Hunger Games.

[SoFloFreeper]

Why the HELL would ANY American think Democrats have their best interests at heart? WHY?

Even the RICH, whom we presume are smart BECAUSE they’re rich, are stupid for going in with the Democrats.....because once the Democrats are able, they will gut THEM.

Just amazes me how people can be so short sighted.

[1Old Pro]

And all the recent college graduates over the past 6 years with huge debt and no jobs in the Obama created recession.

[nascarnation]

Entitlement Army to provide the votes.
Crony Capitalists to provide the dough.

In 08 and 12 it was a winning plan.
Is it possible 2016 will be a bit different? It’s starting to feel a bit like that.

[GizzyGirl]

Every once in a while I read something, somewhere, that creates some minuscule hope that the media will stop lying and start telling the truth. This is one of those stories that gives me hope. Thanks for posting.

[BenLurkin]

“Dangerous?” Dangerous to who?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Just like the opening sequence of Hawaii Five-O....a big white wave is comin’
