They're comfortable and secure enough in terms of status and wealth that they're not negatively affected by elevating someone else--they're still going to be at or near the top regardless. Since they think of themselves the avatars of white people, the troubles and concerns of lower class whites are dismissible. Thus they are fine with "equity" since they're not actually the one who feel the crunch when the bill comes due. They are the white people who have been through the lunch line, have gotten their food, then come back to tell the remaining white people to go to the back of the line to balance things out.

Make up whatever fan fiction about the left that you want, but there is really no way around the fact that leftist policy is centered towards helping people who are not well off, regardless of their skin color or political leanings. The fundamentals of leftist policy are increasing taxation on the rich to increase the amount of money going towards the poor, either through increasing minimum wage or increasing financial assistance.

This whole fantasy that the left is a party of the elites just doesn't make sense if you take even a cursory look at policy. 

If the Left isn't geared toward elites and elite-wannabes then why is it so out of touch with the poor and the working class?  Why did people they thought they had wrapped up turn away?  Why are shows like The View still around, where the hosts sound like they have no idea what the real world is like?

More importantly, why did Democrats spend the last several years COMPLETELY ignoring lower income white people in their messaging, despite that being the largest group of poor in the US?  On the surface, does that make any sense at all?  I'll tell you why--because their well-off, "progressive" target class doesn't care about poor people unless they're some type of minority.  Not only do they not care but research indicates that they are actually prejudiced against lower income white people and have the mentality of "it must be their own fault".

I will also add that I don't believe many members of the Left care about poor racial minorities, either.  Lots of their policies and programs are badly thought out charities that do very little actual good.  They exist for show and only really serve to keep people dependent and voting for more, like addicts going back to their source.  It's pandering, pure and simple.  I kind of hoped the Left would reevaluate after recent elections but it looks like they're just going to double down and simply pray the Right screws up enough to let them back in the door.
