Biden is marginally better in this regard because he does a better job keeping his mouth shut.

The elites converted to the democratic party in waves under Obama. I think it's what caused the disfunction in the democratic party. There are the believers and the opportunists. Obama was the worst thing that ever happened to this country, not because he was overtly bad (and his policies were bad), but because I believe a different type of government-corporate merger formed. 

Also, I don't blame social media for the problem.

When I said elite I was referring to pundits and campaign managers and full time politicians. Those people were in two parties before Obama, and they remained in two parties,  just with more animosity.

You're referring more to influencers in the economy and media though and you're not wrong.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
