The "liberal elite"

[MainSt99]

148. Yes. Liberal elite can be a Conservative's pejorative term for a Liberal "effete" upper crust.

But I usually think of elitist Liberal politicians as those who vote for Liberal social values like racial equality or LGBT rights while voting with Republicans on economic issues which benefit special interests while widening the wealth gap. Too many Congressional Democrats take legalized bribes from enormously wealthy special interest in return for favorable legislation.

IMO, this increasing Congressional Democratic corruption in the last 35 years has blurred the lines between the parties and alienated many Democratic voters. If we Democrats don't stick up for the economic well-being of ordinary people, the better liars (Republicans) will win most of the time. Hence, the present Republican domination of government on all levels.

When Democrats next get power, we need to get money out of politics.
