Yeah, it is only worse if you aren't their main demographic

Yep, in the US both parties serve different slices of the same minority that makes up the Capitalists.

Capitalists aren't a minority in the US.

You don't have to be rich to be a capitalist.

"Capitalist" doesn't refer to the wealthy, or supporters of Capitalism. "Capitalist" refers to an individual who recieves the bulk of their income not from their own labor, but from ownership of Capital, ie business owners.

Those who support Capitalism take on various names, but usually "Liberalism" is used to describe the ideology of Capitalism.
