Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

try to figure out what to do about the fact that the people no longer have any choice in who is going to represent them.

There was some progress made in the last mid terms, when voters chose to start rebuilding at the local level. Progressive issues were placed on ballots and WON. Progressive candidates were supported and WON. While Third Wayers fell by the wayside.

It's going to take a long time to rebuild this party and take it out of the hands of the 'Centrists/Third Way/DLC deregulators, Wall St and War supporters, privatizers of SS etc.

But the process HAS begun after more than a decade of 'holding noses' and only making matters worse.

We have some great Democrats to support. The Party Leadership and Wall St of course won't support them, see NJ eg, but the VOTERS can, as they proved in the mid terms.

People are no longer interested really in the same old arguments about this Wall St candidate or the other one.

Those days are gone for a lot of people.

The Dem party belongs to the Working Class, to the elderly, minorities, iow, the most vulnerable. It has been taken over by by multi billionaires who are so out of touch with the voters, they actually think THEY know what is best for us.

Warren IS better staying in the Senate. She has already made progress by being perfectly HONEST about things Hillary dare not speak about.

Not everyone thinks the WH is the end all and be all of politics.

I, eg, am far more interested in restructuring Congress and the Senate to replace those who do not represent the people with Progressive Democrats. Once that is accomplished, Congress can make sure that even if a Repub wins the WH, he cannot get an agenda that is not beneficial to the PEOPLE first, passed.
