I disagree that the democratic establishment is better in anyway, they are both the same; say a lot, do nothing...for many decades. The only way to get a new party is to pull in the working class, and without them, there can't be a new resistance. The workers go where the message appeals to them, where policies address them. Trump figured that out in both of his elections with the proper rhetoric, even though in the end, the full hand of that gamble may not be worth the bet. In the same regard, the dems were for 'good things' and "democracy" (insert head scratching and lots of laughter here.) You are never going to get an honest leader who isn't another Obama sell-out without first getting money and corporations out of politics. It is a tall order, and I am not holding my breath.
