Every few weeks another Democrat elitist pops up to wonder how their party stopped being the party of the working class and became the party of elites.

Whether it’s Gov. Gavin Newsom and now David Axelrod, there’s an incredible lack of self-awareness in even asking that question.

“The Democratic Party has to assess how the self-styled party of the working class became seen as a party of elites and institutions at a time when so many Americans are enraged at elites and institutions,” David Axelrod, the man who made Obama, argued.

Dave might want to look in the mirror.

The Obama administration was a critical turning point for the transformation. It was the moment that the party permanently turned its back on the white working class, treating them like a token group to be represented by second-rate fake working-class VPs like Biden and Tim Walz.

But the process had been underway for a while. JFK marked the era of the party’s transition to class of hip elites, young liberal college graduates, and away from its old working-class roots. By the time Bill Clinton came around, as the new JFK, the Democrats had been drifting away from the working class, and continued to sell globalism as the solution to everything. Fast forward to Obama and the only sop to the white working class putting Joe Biden on the ticket. Obama publicly bemoaning much of the country as ‘bitter clingers’ perfectly captured the party’s state of mind.

Now, Axelrod acts like someone else turned the Dems into a party of soulless elites. Maybe he’ll launch an investigation to find out who did it. Meanwhile, he might consider revisiting the outcome of the 2012 West Virginia Democrat primaries.

Not only did Mitt Romney stomp Obama, but Obama struggled to beat his Democrat primary opponent, Keith Judd, a mentally ill man in prison by, 59% to 41%, and struggled against another serial candidate in Alabama.

16 years after Bill Clinton won West Virginia, Obama was struggling to even win the Democrat nomination.

Where was David Axelrod then?
