Mick,
I've been struggling to understand how democrats are rejected by Trumpers both because they are the party of elites and because they're socialists. In fact, it's the party that supports raising minimum wage, less regressive taxation, enhancing opportunities for those historically disadvantaged, and providing universal health care. In other words, the party that wants to use power for the benefit of a broad coalition. And to save us individuals from a terrible pandemic (to keep this posting very tenuously on topic). Would it really be so terrible if the country were more egalitarian, like those of northern Europe?
Meanwhile, a silver spoon-fed real estate developer supported by billionaire-run Fox News, and multi-millionare on-screen "talents, along the most exploitative ilk you can find (Koch brothers, et. al -- see link) is the party of the common man?

Endless projection and distortion of what democrats stand for. Elitism driving the party of Biden/Harris? Please.
Oh, and we get it that you expect Biden to die soon -- you mention it in just about every one of your posts.
