Poll: Do you think "Establishment Democrat" is the BS equivalvent of "Deep State"?

Simple yes or no poll--Do you think "Establishment Democrat" is the BS equivalvent of "Deep State"? That is, does BS use the term to mean something like the Democratic Establishment is a nefarious cabal of elites that control the US government through illegitimate & undemocratic means in order to benefit itself at the voters' expense?

I have always been for Joe Biden...exactly how is a democracy that allows me to vote for my candidate "deep state"?

You are like Donald Trump, and that DEEPLY disturbs me.

...and he has been running ads featuring FDR and John Kennedy, who are about as dynastic a family as you could imagine, so I guess the establishment must either mean Democratic voters generally or African American voters specifically.

He uses JFK as a job reference. I’m hiring someone else. And just for the record Herbert Hoover was a Progressive.
