Definition 2 is roughly: Activists who are deeply concerned with Democratic/liberal politics and whose participation goes beyond merely voting, e.g. organizing, donating substantial sums, participating in local D groups, writing about politics, etc. Maybe 1-2% of the population. — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes there are dumb arguments because people define the Democratic "base" in two different ways. Definition 1 is roughly: Loyal Democratic rank-and-file voters who regularly vote in primaries and general elections. This might be 20% of the US adult population. — PolitiTweet.org

IMO, Definition 1 is correct—"base" refers to a fairly broad group of loyal Democratic voters. There are lots of other ways to refer to the second group, e.g. "activists", "influential Democrats". The term "party elites" is narrower still but sometimes OK. — PolitiTweet.org
