You bring up some good points. The age of condescension has come and gone. It isn’t enough to care about other people; we have to respect them, and I think the Democratic Party has been slow to extend respect to people who are not obviously part of “the elite.” We have tried to change their thinking, their values, and their behavior—and we are clearly not succeeding. It’s time to abandon snobbery. But it’s hard—old habits die hard.

But only me, because I just don't think 90% of the Dems can be persuaded to follow this course.

It's rather baffling to me, how Dems go this way. "A chicken in every pot" became "We must consult with the chicken and the pot before agreeing to that."
