It will also lead to a voter base that's unwilling to support any serious redistributive policy, thus turning the Democratic party into the party of affluent, "cosmopolitan" managerial centrists who don't give a crap about poverty and inequality. That party would not even be worth supporting.

Even if your idea about this is true, the other party would likely be pretty close to advocating actual genocide in such a scenario.

I kind of doubt the idea you spout as well. It seems to be based on a BS "yuppie" prejudice more then actual reality(The vast majority of america in general is urban/suburban). This idea that rich people can't be economically liberal is laughable. The idea that all suburbanites are rich is even more absurd.

Yuppies are generally trash, rich people can be economically progressive, but a lot of them don't vote for democrats for that reason, and wouldn't vote for an stedfast leftist, who cares about income redistribution, social welfare, and huge investments in poor areas aiming at helping poor people.

All suburbanites aren't rich, but generally suburbanites that swung to the democrats in recent years, especially to clinton, are upper-middle class and rich.

Also WTF on genocide.

"Yuppie" is a stupid word. Generalizing people as trash based on income is stupid at best. Many rich people currently vote based on themselves, but that isn't a hard rule. This dislike of the democratic party's trend in voterbase seems  based on a tribalistic dislike of "yuppies".

Also the genocide comment was a reference to the trump wing of the republicans, which would basically run the party in the scenario described. Perhaps a bit hyperbolic.

Yuppies are not just rich people, their effects on cities and urban development has been disastrous, the dislike of the trend of the democratic party, is that we no longer represent poor, trash white working class communities in cities and rural areas, but instead we get the votes of upper-middle class people, who are in many cases economic centrists, with no desire of a reformation of society to help the working class.

Poor blacks and african americans still vote democratic, as they are threatened by the racism of the republican party, that whites aren't, which is good, but alongside that, we should still be getting the votes of poor whites, who had been democratic voters (outside of the south) for so long.
