The current fight is within the Eppstein class (both right and left elites), between the old money (Wall Street) and new money (techno-fascists/feudalists of Silicon Valley).

The rabble is just taken for the ride, fooled by left vs right show and exploited along the way.

Who's a "left elite"? The democrats are right wing.

Heh, it would have been more precise to say 'the leaderships of both Republican and Democratic parties'.

Left & right is too imprecise, there is left/right on economic issues (worker rights, curtailing power of monopolies), and there is left/right on cultural issues (abortion, gay rights, ...).

The big coup of the rich elites has been distracting and redirecting the Democrats from economic issues to cultural ones (along the way losing the culturally conservative worker class).
