Democrat debates show whom the party cares about least

[American Thinker] The first Democratic primary debates didn't alter the standings in the crowded pack, but they did reveal one thing. It's no longer a question of whose interests the party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson now serve.

Here's a Hegelian hint: the antithesis of the lumpenproletariat. Actually, it's broader than that. Democrats aren't courting a blinkered precariat uninterested in hot-button issues like unisex bathrooms for the transgendered. Democrats aren't even running to recapture the vast middle class, the people George Eliot praised as living "faithfully a hidden life."

No, the liberal party appears to have given up on the working class and is concentrating its efforts on solidifying its hold on urban professionals, advanced degree‐holders, and SAG-AFTRA members. American elites, to put it squarely, are the Democrats' go-to constituency. (The one exception is new-age tout Marianne Williamson, who appears to be running exclusively to capture votes from Portland, Ore. and Proxima Centauri b.)

Apologies to all the grubby-handed schmucks pathetically clocking in 9 to 5, day in, day out, collecting a biweekly paycheck and socking away two percent for the kids' Christmas presents. Your interests barely register for Democrats running on the national stage. The Party's priority is no longer families needing money for school clothes; rather, it is the sundry plights of gay "married" couples with three and a half bachelor's degree between them and an apartment rent that makes most Midwest mortgage payments seem like a pittance.

#3 It's interesting how the Democratic party has evolved over time from the party of segregation and white supremacy to the party of the working man and his family, and currently, to the party of ~~lunatics~~ the urban elites.
