It is almost the definition of modern liberalism, which has become extremely gentrified and is more of a cultural movement than a political movement. It is odd to me that there is any controversy about this, since it is the most important political feature of modern times, and is the main source of the power of the right wingers since it is so easy to leverage against the Democratic party for political gain. Itis is also correctable, and it is essential that we do correct it if we are serious about stopping the extreme right wing, so I can't understand why people are so resistant to this idea. I didn't see this clearly until I visited the Pacific Northwest recently and talked to hundreds of people, since the divide - the gentrified liberals versus the common people - is not so severe and obvious in the Midwest and other regions of the country as it is in the Northwest.

So, yes, modern liberalism is based on, oriented around, and driven by contempt for the common people, and liberal political activists are mysteriously resistant to seeing this, let alone correcting it. This is the main cause of all failures over the last 30 years of the Democratic party, and also the cause of the success of the extreme right wing.
