The thing is, 90s Democrats were focused on "the little guy" regardless of their ethnicity, gender, or sexuality. It was just middle and lower class workers. At some point, however, the Democrats decided that "the little guy" actually meant "whoever is the lowest rung on the idpol ladder" and ran with that definition.
That 'some point' is pretty explicitly Occupy Wall Street. Overnight and on an ever growing slope since then until maybe this very year, every legacy media giant became obsessed with racism, women's petty problems, and eventually pushing tranny shit as the primary ill in the world we needed to get more and more laser focused and intolerant about. 'Forget the whole class solidary thing please' they told the NPCs.
The already class focused socialist left of the time and a right angry about government-financial services circlejerk making idiotic decisions hitting normal people's pocketbooks coming together was an existential threat to the ruling class. Upending what parties even represent and stalling the plan on one world governance for 20 or 30 years over this shit was an acceptable alternative to the plebs gathering united on the streets below the ivory towers of our actual oligarchic rulers.
