What is elitist in wanting healthcare for all the citizens of America? To not have to have people die because they are poor, or be destitute with one family medical emergency? Gop have lied for decades about being able to solve healthcare issues. They got power after those lies and proceeded to show everyone their cards. They had NOTHING. NO plan, no goal other than taking away insurance and benefits from people. There is nothing to hide behind anymore and lie about.
And is it elitist to want to provide affordable higher education and make sure people aren't drowning in debt just to go to school to better themselves and their families?
Elitist to give a shit about minorities, LGBT and civil rights? Protect and fight for groups that otherwise would be stomped on by a rabid GOP. Yes very elitist indeed to try to care about people rather than toss out tax breaks to 1%ers and corporations.
Meanwhile the GOP panders to a shrinking base and scares and whips them into a hateful frenzy of brown people coming to supplant them. And instead of reaching out and expanding that base they scheme and plot to gerrymander the country to limit minority voting power.

But, yes its liberals who are elitist and show it by fighting for the rights of the same minorities the GOP would see never get a full voice by their very own records.
