#1 They left off Nazi, wanna be tyrants and slavemasters, vile, soulless and worshiping Human sacrifice, they smell and their mom dresses them funny.

#2 They're the urban party - the coastal elite appearance is just because that's where the most urban areas are.

#3 Nope, ain't gonna happen. Dems would rather eat broken glass than get on the side of the working class.

The working class betrayed them by voting for Trump. They have a long memory and will retaliate harshly the next time they get in power.

#4 Which is why it's likely they next time they are in power, we shall have a revolution and try America 2.0, sans Democrats and Liberals.

#5 "We have got to change the center of gravity from being coastal, elitist and Ivy League to a party that is on the side of workers.

Bingo. However, it’s not just about being on the side of the workers. That sounds so Communist. By saying that, you need be on the side of the workers, already sets up a schism between the Donks and others (in this case the workers). Ryan does not acknowledge or define the ongoing, wider cultural war that sets apart the coastal elites from others. He does not acknowledge that in the quest for diversity and identity politics, the Dems have created a monster.

#6 The Dems mental condition prevents them from seeing that they constantly insult people like programmers, accounting people, legal clerks, etc. by implying that they don't work.

The idea that work only counts when it's nasty, dirty blue collar work is just so Mid 1800s Marx and those white collar churls are oppressors.
