No doubt about it.
But they have poor people convinced they are worried about them... and have them voting for them as well.
I think that is changing though.
They are the party of the CCP. Plain and simple. We have a foreign government controlling one of our major parties.

The central thesis seems to be that the Democratic Party is losing its way, not that Republicans are a viable alternative.Republican politicians are noticing. Since the election, a lot of them have started to refer to their party as the home of the working class. Based on the data we have so far, that’s a huge overstatement.
The issue is that the Democratic Party "like the republican party" are too big.
For every elitist like Biden or Pelosi, is a gritty man/woman of the people like Bernie or AOC.

Bernie by most accounts is one of the poorer members of congress. Almost person who works in Congress is almost a lock to be a 1% as their salary is 174K puts them in the top 5%. If they have any other sources of income they'll likely move to the 1%
So basically using your logic, no one can represent the common man because their salary is high.

Meh. I think it’s a poorly conceived argument, but the reason those counties contribute the most to the economy is because it’s where all the ****ing people are. The people in the poor, rural counties matter just as much, but there are a lot less of them. My guess is the intent is to counter the stupid “number of counties” argument and they flubbed it.
