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.

If they work and vote Demonic, they’re dumbasses... of a dangerous level.

[PROCON]

Dangerous to who?

In context I would think Demoncrats...

[TurboZamboni]

They must be all moving here to Minnesota and voting rat.

[BenLurkin]

Makes sense — the NYT headline writers see a threat to Democrats as being such an exitenstial one that the threat is seen as one to society as a whole without further clarification required.

Dangerous to Marxism which has the NYT very worried.

Welcome to Marxism, a-holes. You voted for it and the rest of us are stuck with your mistake, so suck it up and shut your pie holes.

... working-class and middle-class Americans fully understand that Obamacare takes money from the working class and gives it away to the lower class...

Obamacare takes money from the working class and gives a big hunk to government bureaucrats to 'administer' the scam, a BIG chunk to Insurance companies for skim, and crap to people who hold jobs and don't make a lot.... In short - primarily poor blacks and white liberal elites who run insurance companies are the winners. The rest of us lose.

In the end, the whole Ferguson debacle shows that blacks need to really consider what is wrong with their culture. The huge number of children born out of wedlock and the glorification of the thug culture through hip-hop music bothers a LOT of people, to say the least.

If you work for a living, just why would you want to be affiliated in any way with the unemployed and unemployable degenerates and ferals who make up much of the DIMocRATparty? ...unless you are a brain-washed zombie.

[Disambiguator]

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

Bourgeoisie.

"the fruits, of their labors" BUMP.

[goldstategop]

The GOP has been successful in sanding over its rough edges.

Now it wants to go after moderate white voters and detach them from the Democrats.

The GOP establishment backs Jeb Bush for this very reason - they want to redefine the GOP as a more inclusive, kinder and gentler party.

That does not play well with conservatives but in some parts of the country with Purple States, it can be a potentially winning image.

thanks, for the ping/post...

I don’t know why they are losing hope, I’m sure they will get an EBT card when they lose their jobs due to change.
