May 2017

the era when the democrats were strong.
Many feel the party is more interested in pleasing Silcon Valley and Wall Street professionals. Many feel the party abandoned the average person, which they traditionally were known for for decades, and the concerns of average people.
When democrats became cozy with Wall Street and embraced privatizing, school choice, ect., they felt the party left them for the professionals and well heeled. They did not speak to or about or the language of everyday people.

Some of that impression I think was because of the policy wonk answers they gave to simple questions rather then talk in plain language. That told people the party was not about the average guy.
