>The Democrats seem to be out of touch with the lower class. Especially the rural lower class. One of the things that made the last two elections (more so 2016 than 2020 to be honest) interesting is that they were the first elections in some decades that addressed the working classes to any signifigant degree. Even though Trump was clearly lying and playing to people's worst impulses(ie promising to pay people's legal fees who beat up protestors at his rallies) he was at least talking to the lower class. Now that the DNC has routed the DSA I expect we'll see less and less notice or attention given to the working class, which is both sad and inevitable. (edited to clarify what I mean is sad lest anyone think I was saying it's sad no one's urging violence)
