As Thom says here, it took the charismatic, forceful, and deadly correct FDR to get Democrats on the same page. Bernie Sanders said as much in an interview on CBS, declaring that a campaign based on these things we on this page all agree with would win. Period.
I am not familiar with Wikler, but yes, Reich just declared him to be the tick…

I am not familiar with Wikler, but yes, Reich just declared him to be the ticket as well. All the pundits declare the winning ticket for Dems to be Centrist. I, on the other hand, thing we need more of Sean Fein's attitude. Maybe not so acerbic, but on that wavelength, in the chairman's seat, whipping the entire party into a force that would not be beatable. A united force not drunk on power, but positive change that benefits all.
I saw a meme today that states that the average income in this country is $74,500. Remove the top ten earners, the average is $65,000. Remove the top 50, it becomes $48,000, and remove the top 1,000 to arrive at $35,500 as the national average income. I don't automatically accept such stuff without understanding the source, but perhaps someone here knows if that comes close. The point remains the same: The picture of the American economy is skewed insanely by the top 1,000 earners. Democrats campaign on being for the working man, then don't tackle the tax code issue that the top 1,000 would fight viciously....and LOSE if the Dems really wanted them to lose. Meaning that they'd ALL have to give up support from that top 1,000 and their companies.
The reason for Trump support is total and hostile mistrust of both parties as they were before Trump. They believe Trump and they are quite likely to come to realize they were wrong, but most Dems that may appear on this page ALSO mistrust the Democratic Party as it IS, and are impatient with waiting for them to wake up. Kneecapping Sanders tells you everything you need to know, and it happened twice. Money talks, Democrats obey. That has to end, and STAY ended.
