"Why has the Democratic Party become so arrogantly detached from ordinary Americans? Though they claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite, top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers"
- Camille Paglia
About this Quote
This quote by Camille Paglia suggests that the Democratic Party has actually ended up being disconnected from the typical American. In spite of their claims to represent the less fortunate, the party has actually become controlled by the upper-middle-class professional elite, such as journalists, academics, and lawyers. This recommends that the Democratic Party is no longer in touch with the needs and concerns of the average American, and has actually become out of touch with the realities of everyday life. This disconnection could be an outcome of the celebration's focus on the interests of the professional elite, instead of the interests of the average American. This might result in a lack of trust and support from the typical American, and could ultimately lead to the celebration's failure.
This quote is written / told by Camille Paglia somewhere between April 2, 1947 and today. She was a famous Author from USA.
