That's the problem.

They get mad at the poor because the Democrats have done a shitty job of taking up class warfare. Sanders was popular and is, for a message that did champion that.

As a lone voice in the wilderness, would he have ever be able to achieve more than the success he got? Not enough probably, but if the whole democratic party stopped playing nice with corporations that would amplified.

It isn't about whether people want to shit on the poor more than take from the rich, its that they are greatly confused about who it is that is actually fucking them, and that is the corporate media's fault first and foremost, along with the expiration of the fairness doctrine that Bill Clinton can at least own in part, and Democrats fault second, because they have accepted the mantle as the less corporate party for the last 30 years.
