The democrats have problems, but those problems stem from taking big donations, and being dragged to the right by republicans and their donors. I do hope this new progressive wave takes over the democratic party, or builds up a viable third party, or whatever it takes to get proper progressive views going in this country again.
There is a movement going on to form a third party for Progressives who have abandoned both parties and become Independents, and they are wanting Bernie Sanders to run in 2020, just learned about today on FB.
Progressives Prepare to Serve Bernie Sanders Petition to Start New Party
Supporters believe party would be competitive and attract independents http://observer.com/2017/08/draft-bernie...-petition/
Quote:Even though Sen. Bernie Sanders has embraced his role of outreach chair for the Democratic Party since the 2016 election, many of his supporters have joined a movement to draft him to lead a new political party. Led by Sanders’ former national political director, Nick Brana, who experienced how entrenched the Democratic Party is in corporate money and influence while lobbying superdelegates as part of Sanders’ campaign, developed an organization called Draft Bernie in February 2017. Since the organization’s founding, Brana has organized volunteers and staff across the country to gather signatures for a petition to give to Bernie Sanders that insists he starts a new party.
In April 2017, Dr. Cornel West formally endorsed and joined the Draft Bernie movement. “I was blessed to spend some time on the inside of the Democratic Party looking at the ways in which we could come up with some vision. And I was convinced that the Democratic Party was milquetoast, moribund. It lacks imagination, gusto, doesn’t have enough courage. It’s too tied to big money. The duopoly stands in the way of democracy,” Dr. West said in an interview with Democracy Now on why he supports the movement.

"Cult" is the right word. It is as if these Cheeto-head lovers are brainwashed. They love him so much they would suck Trump's dick and lick his ass and not think twice about it. Mindless cultists.
Given his popularity, and how many independents are in this country, it would be great is we could get a Bernie party going. I'd join that.
