"SNIP....

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that — despite Americans’ overall satisfaction with the state of the U.S. economy and their own personal finances — a majority say they are angry at the nation’s political and financial establishment, anxious about its economic future, and pessimistic about the country they’re leaving for the next generation.

The poll finds that 70% of Americans say they feel angry “because our political system seems to only be working for the insiders with money and power, like those on Wall Street or in Washington.”

1. Yet over 40% of them plan to vote Republican again?

Do any of these people ever think?

3. They blame the elites for neoliberalism that made all the gains from globalism

go to the rich. Elite means experts and educated washington policy experts. Most experts were fooled by trickle down. And tax cuts. Bit most of the blame goes to republicans and i hope these voters get that. Biden speaks to that on the stump.

6. These middle class crushing policies have always been Republican driven and that hasn't changed.

Anyone who blames the nebulous group of "elites" instead of laying the blame squarely upon the Republicans is too stupid to vote. I am with you in that I hope Biden really hits that home. This was not the work of Democrats.

2. angry that "our...system...only...working for the insiders"

well I'm angry that they (we all) could do something about it but we are too lazy, afraid, unaware, stupid, etc...
EVERYONE needs to wake up about the power the masses have when working together

4. We have no one else to blame but ourselves.

Hell, we don’t even have the best government that money can buy anymore.

5. It isn't like they hide their motives.
