There's been a spate of articles in recent days about how Democrats need to win back working-class voters who defected to President Donald Trump in 2016 if they want to regain the White House.
Right in the middle of this discussion, Sen. Bernie Sanders provided yet another reminder of how incredibly, unbelievably out of touch the Democratic Party is with those voters.
An AP story this week talked about how Democrats face an "Identity crisis" as they try to answer the question, "How can they peel back Trump's support with white working-class voters while boosting turnout with minorities and suburban women?".
At a campaign event in South Carolina last week, an attendee noted how Germany is considering a 19% meat tax to fight climate change, and asked Sanders if he would support one to "Ensure that Americans limit their consumption of animal products?".
Behind them is an army of elite environmentalists who want to tax beef and other meat to cover the "Massive" environmental damage raising the animals allegedly causes.
The Democrats' anti-meat oddity is being driven by their fixation on climate change - an issue that never makes it into anyone's list of priorities outside the Democratic base, and that keeps causing Democrats to become further detached from reality.
Has any of them bothered to ask working families how much they'd like that?
