I think the whole "elites" terminology is silly.

As a very broad generalisation it seems to mean "people who are richer or have a bigger voice than me who I disagree with.

These generalizations and plattitudes are off the mark and dangerous. Sure, there are those working as PR for the elite, or they are honest journalists that work for MSM that is in the hands of the elites. Most journalists, especially investigative journalists want to do their job as well as they can, in an environment that is increasingly hostile to good journalism. We need these people to help keep our democracy intact.

Using elite as a term of derision is rather silly anyway. Who else would you want running the country than the most skilled and accomplished?

This might not be possible. (“Myth of egalitarianism”)

People who have my interests in mind.

I think you'll be waiting a long time for that. The most I hope for is that politicians interests might align with mine.
