The "liberal elite"

[H2O Man]

62. It isn't "the"

most important issue facing us today. Yet, it is definitely one that the Democratic Party needs to address honestly, if we are going to win elections in a meaningful manner in 2018 and beyond. The 2016 experience shows this rather clearly, in the national and congressional elections (both House and Senate).

A lot of people were likewise insulted during the primary. This included when their concerns and beliefs were labeled nonsense, untrue, etc .....only to be confirmed by the DNC leaks. I think that it would be extremely hard to deny that some in the DNC were acting, by definition, as elites.

Indeed, the concept of "super delegates" is elitist. Denial of this requires tortured logic.

These are issues that can be dealt with successfully. But that requires open and honest discussion and debate. Denying the realities is not a way that it can be accomplished. More, that insures the very fractures that can be exploited by the Russians, etc.
