Democrats don't relate to middle-class people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I don't think the Democratic Party is at eye level with the middle class.
You can't define what's middle class, what is wealthy, what is poor.
Both chronic, long-term poverty and downward mobility from the middle class are in the same category of things that America likes not to think about.
There is this notion that the lives of the comfortable-off middle class don't merit being treated seriously and with compassion.
I'm of the opinion that the Democrats have the ideas I agree with more often than not. Reenergizing the middle class and giving people a break.
Big government doesn't help the middle class, it buries it.
The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.
The Democrats have pretty much given up on the white working class. That would require a commitment to economic issues, and that's not their concern.
Real Democrats don't abandon the middle class.
Democrats single out glaring examples of tax preferences or spending priorities that favor the wealthy and Republicans cry 'class warfare!'
