>I think "party of the rich" type narratives are more just wonky narratives and ideology. I disagree. I remember a time when someone who was lower/working class could have a reasonable expectation of being able to elect someone who would represent their interests (being pro union, at least) and address their issues. While the rhetoric has improved since the 90's and 00's (when you'd never hear the world "working class" on the lips of politicians) the substance (being willing to address issues) has not. So the narrative points to an actual substantial issue which impacts the lives of an increasing number of people in the United States. It's not just wonks blathering.
