Word: Democratic elitism

The Hill -  Democratic political commentator Van Jones says his party comes across as elitist and condescending to voters.

“Everybody knows we have a problem with elitism,” he said on ABC’s “The View”

“Liberals and Democrats, we see ourselves as champions of the poor and downtrodden,” added Jones, a former adviser to President Obama.

“But we have somehow let a little camp of elitist-sounding, snobby people come into the party, and it's obnoxious. They talk down to people, and everybody hates it.”

Jones endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the presidential race.
