37. I really wish people would focus on the actual issue
People who get to the final stages of running for president are almost always in the upper 1% financially. This is not what this "elite" bullshit is all about. It's about repeating and agreeing with a GODDAM RETHUGLICAN MEME ferchrissakes! The meme is that ALL Dems are out of touch "elitists" and the Bushco haves and have mores are the true populists. Any Dem who says that about any other Dem is a traitor, period. The meme damages all Dems, including the ones who invoke it.
