I'm just the messenger. If y'all aren't elite, you best call a meeting at Starbucks. As Biden once said, 'They gonna put you in chains!!" Was he talking to the non-elites?
What exactly is an elite ?
And what exactly is wrong with being an elite ?

And please answer.......
Weren't the GOP closely tied to the elites all along.
Weren't they joined hip to hip with the elites on Wall St ??
What happened to these relationships ??
Have too many of the business elites gone too liberal ??
Are they too entrenched in the 21st century ?
Are they no longer "earthy people" ? As you proudly liked to call yourself a while back ??

You are now totally devoted to the working class.
Hey we have working class people in Canada ?? And we had a party devoted to them.
We called them Socialists.

I guess the elites in the US don't look at a party that wants to return the US back to 1950.
Elites nowadays tend to be forward thinking.
