My explanation to disprove that notion: The two-party system in the US is simply two coalitions that revolves around the different division of the American oligarchy. The reshuffling of the two coalitions from 2016 in response to the increasing saliency of the socially progressive issues over economic issues means that the Democrats no longer represent the middle ground between the working class and Capitalist class. The Democratic party now is a coalition of Capitalists who are socially liberal against the Republicans who are socially conservative.
The irony is that Trump, who is framed as the bad guy by the media oligarch, is more beneficial for the working class since he disrupt the alliance of free riding Western European diaspora, force them to confess to their hypocritical protectionist policies against Trump, and remove foreign bribery in the form of foreign aid.
