“Imagined” is perhaps the right word considering he wanted to raise taxes for low income people, and lower taxes for rich people.

Oh yeah. But it’s people’s perceptions that everyone is hunting for anyways. It’s fake love for the working class in the way the rich love their butler but will replace him if he ever gets sick.

But that perception and the story of the party is super important and how to win elections. The Democrats haven’t been chasing that identity and let it slip while trying to figure out who should be the candidate that cost the least amount of money for its donors.

It’s not impossible to see how the perceptions got to where they are.
