Hmm, are you sure "baristas with masters degrees" isn't meant literally?? I'm sure many lean left but only because university education seems to cause people to lean left in the absence of other factors like growing older, starting a family etc. When I see this phrase, at least to me it's not an alias for anything. It is meant quasi-literally, as "people with advanced training in a subject they cannot use". I can think of many people I've known who ended up in this bucket over time. Most of them don't seem to be simmering with rage over it, but other than one, I wouldn't know them well enough to be sure. Of the people I know, barista is not the most common working class job they end up in. Many of them ended up as IT recruiters, for example.
