It's also funny because many working people would say the exact opposite (though I would agree that the Democratic platform, nominally, includes the policies that are in their actual interest).

America's parties have done an astonishingly good job of divvying up the country along lines that really have much more to do with personal identity than with actionable policy, and getting us focused on working against each other instead of together. There are Republican workers and Democrat workers. Both think the other party is where the out-of-touch "elites" lie. Both are mostly right.
