Time for Democrats to shun the "white working class"?

Democrats of all races, genders, education levels and income levels tend to agree on most issues these days, including economic ones.  Even if they're more moderate than poor inner-city minorities on fiscal issues, wealthy liberals are largely on board with a more government regulated economy; there simply aren't these socially liberal Reaganites in the Democratic Party that this board imagines.  Period.  Democratic leadership knows this, which is why even in an election like 2016, Hillary Clinton relied HEAVILY on populist economic rhetoric, even if she threw a few bones to disaffected Republicans regarding Trump's "sanity" or whatever.  The Democratic Party can't abandon liberalism and remain viable, and any party with liberalism as a tenant must represent the interests of the working class.  Period.

A little off-topic, and I'm NOT being facetious, I promise:

In what ways is America overly wealthy?  I mean, I *know* we're one of the wealthiest countries on Earth just living here and having traveled to several other countries, but are people mostly just talking about GDP?  It seems the same people who will talk about our problems and compare us to the likes of Denmark or Sweden in one category or another will turn around and say our economic problems are inexcusible because we are so wealthy, so I'm just curious what the usual metric used is.
