I'm not even part of the Democrat Party believe it or not. I'm playing a little devil's advocate and just stating the way things currently are and the current attitude of the Democrat party and the DNC were especially after reading those emails. Yes, you are right though, they are alienating progressives.

My left wing side says Trump is further to the left on Hillary on many major economic issues, and because his success soley depends on keeping his working class voters happy, he will have to cater to their will, whereas Hillary only has to cater to the will of hmmm lets see, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Exxon, Monsanto, ect, ect.
It's like living in some weird bizzaro Superman universe, someone pinch me when the nightmare is over.

He might not cut social security or medicaid but he definitely will be cutting SNAP more because **** the poor and their grubbing food stamp having asses right?
Also he's only catering to the working class to give them lip service and have them vote for him. Bringing jobs back to America and being anti-TPP. Please, I'm sure he's sent plenty of jobs overseas because it is the cheaper option for his businesses and the TPP is pretty much finalized already. There isn't much he can do if he was in office. Also his VP candidate loves to the TPP. His VP pick is an establishment Republican. So all the of the nonsense that he says at speeches contradict how his VP feels about the issues. 91% of what he says at his rallies are false when they get fact checked so I wouldn't believe a single thing he says.
Fact Checkers Prove That 91% of the Things Donald Trump Says Are False
The article is from back in March so the percentage is most likely even higher.
