I wonder if they realize how patronizing they are and how they feed into the narrative that liberals are elitists that think they are better than everybody else and how they know what's best for them.

It's evident when you post polls that 80% of Democrats have favorable opinions of BHO and HRC and their detractors reply that's because they aren't as informed (smart) as those who oppose them.

I don't like labels but it's laughable when folks use liberal and populist as synonyms. Populists believe wisdom and power reside in and derive from the people, liberals believe wisdom and power resides in and derives from them

BTW, I said this thread would become a patronizing party in the first post and I was right.
