<<<<This calling liberals elite is nonsense>>>> No!!! Not liberals at all. Just a subset of the democratic party that think they know best what the people deserve. Pushing their ideology onto the people. The coronation of Hillary! I can't believe you somehow think of liberals as elite - you have no idea what the term implies as used here! The theory posits that a small minority, consisting of members of the economic elite and policy-planning networks, holds the most power—and this power is independent of democratic elections. en.wikipedia.org
