Sounds like the traditionally poor/populist party is "selling out" to economic classism (left-wing, i.e. Democrats, in America), and the traditionally economic classist party is continuing to represent wealthy voters (right-wing, i.e. Republicans, in America). Leaving poor voters simply not represented by anyone, as the article projects:

So which party "made up of poor/populist people" are you referring to? The one that elected a billionaire businessman who literally craps on a golden toilet, sequestered away in a mighty tower emblazoned with his almighty name?
