Their base believes that the economy is in a shambles because *their personal economy* is in a shambles. They are stuck living with parents, have gigantic student loans and a useless degree with zero real world applicability, can’t get a job because of the useless degree and their own personal attitude and carriage, and they can’t believe that this condition doesn’t afflict anyone else.
That’s why some Dems are harping on about the broken, terrible US economy.
Yeah, perhaps so...
