Yes, it is why I struggle at the moment of casting my ballot in the last Presidential election. I so wanted to see a woman in the White House, but putting another Clinton there just didn't seem to be so wonderful. Next to Trump Hillary was great...but talk about low bars.
I finally voted for Bernie, after waiting until the last minute to make sure my vote wouldn't mess things up. First time I ever wrote anyone in.
I think the elitism is genetic in the system, in that to succeed one (often) needs an expensive education and Democrats are just as likely as Republicans to profit from being part of the investor class. So many of the Dems at the top just don't have much in common with the rest of America. 
One of the first things Clinton did was "reform" welfare, and then make sure jobs went away with NAFTA. 
But all in all, the Dems are fighting for poor people. They really are all we have when it comes to fighting Trump and his "health care".
