The problem goes even deeper than that. In America’s imagined past, members of Congress had a strong sense of place. Democrats might have risen through the ranks of local trade unions or schoolhouses. Republicans might have been local business or community leaders. Members of both parties lived lives intertwined with those of their constituents. But spend some time reading the biographies of your representatives in Congress, and you’ll notice, as I did, that by the time they reach office, many politicians have already been socialized into a cultural, educational, and financial elite that sets them apart from average Americans. While some representatives do have strong roots in their district, for many others the connection is tenuous at best. Even for those members who were born and raised in the part of the country they represent, that place is for many of them not their true home. Educated at expensive colleges, likely on the coasts, they spend their 20s and 30s in the nation’s great metropolitan centers. After stints in law, business, or finance, or on Capitol Hill, they move to the hinterlands out of political ambition. Once they retire from Congress, even if they retain some kind of home in their district, few make it the center of their lives: They seem much more likely than their predecessors to pursue lucrative opportunities in cities such as New York, San Francisco, and, of course, Washington. By just about every metric—from life experience to education to net worth—these politicians are thoroughly disconnected from the rest of the population.

I didn't think the Atlantic could actually write something good.

"With liberalism now under concerted attack from the Trump administration, which has declared war on independent institutions such as the FBI and has used the president’s pulpit to bully ethnic and religious minorities, it’s perhaps understandable that many thinkers are willing to give up a modicum of democracy to protect the rule of law and the country’s most vulnerable groups."

lol, the FBI is "independent" now? what happened to the old lib "line" that the FBI was run by a cabal of right-wingers to infiltrate and wreck leftist groups?

direct democracy =/= all democracies

indirect democracy is still a form of democracy. like how the US is a democratic republic instead of just a council of rulers appointed by some agency or something. which would still be a republic, but not a democratic one.

I don't know how the guy got from one to the other but he had a single mom with, at best, middle class income and no political or other useful family connections. If you're point is that we aren't going to elect a literal plumber, ok. I thought it was more about the beginning class of people we elect. I'm not gonna spend all day defending Obama but I think he's an effective rebuttal to the argument that we only elect people from elite backgrounds. He was the first elite dood in his family, that's impressive to me.

The point of the article isn't that none of our politicians came from shitty/normal/difficult backgrounds or aren't self made people--it's that once they're in office they enter this elite bubble and never leave it.

but he had "privileges" the white plumber, or the white plumbers son dont have. Affirmitive action opens doors for blacks that are locked shut for whites. That, coupled with the soft bigotry of low expectations, allowed him to seduce the white democrate electorate.

alright I'm not going to get into some subthread wasteland with you. Blacks are not capable of living in an advanced society - do you dispute that? Do you find it just a little odd that whites have invented the modern world at a time when blacks still ran around with spears. Why do you think they were made slaves in the first place? the only thing blacks ever invented was aids. Now, "white privilege" is actually majority privilege. Does an asian guy have "asian privilege" in tokyo? Now, to the extent that blacks are here we attempt to give them programs and aid, like AA, congressional black caucus, diversity initiatives, etc.. to help them out. But, their failures are not a result of white privilege, they are a result of their low iq, poor discipline, and lack of evolutionary pressure - this brings us back to my point about blacks running around with spears at a time when whites invented the fucking submarine.

democracy isn't defined by *who* is elected, it's defined by *how* the leaders are selected

the leaders of a country will always be the elite, no matter what the structure of government is, for obvious reasons

the USA is a democracy because we democratically elect our leaders, and our elections are actually quite by-the-book with very little fraud

The author is wrong. Politicians (at the federal level) in the past exhibited a more elitist, aristocratic, above-it-all tone. They cut deals in smoke-filled rooms and regarded activists and their respective party bases as annoyances. The crafting of legislation and budgets was done largely out of sight. The advent of the 24-hour news cycle and politicized news outlets has increased political activism and party base participation in primaries. Most members of Congress are now activists for their respective tribe, and more moderate members are slowly being culled from the ranks. The Supreme Court reflects this shift. To be approved you need to show that you were loyal to your respective side going as far back as your college days. That wasn't necessarily the case 40+ years ago.

That politicians are more likely to have attended an elite school and live in a major city is indicative of the declining prospects of rural and ex-urban areas. I don't see it necessarily as a decline in "democracy." At the federal level, politicians are actually too responsive to their constituents. Very few are willing to cross their constituents (either out of ideology or fear of a primary) to work on legislation and each continually appears in public to show loyalty to their respective tribe.

The plebs will never participate meaningfully in government. They don't have the ability to master the details, although I believe they have a lot of common sense.

The best they can hope for is healthy competition between elite factions.
