Trumps base is starting to erode.

Yeah, totally agree with you about the red and blue aristocracies. And you know that I would totally vote for Bernie if he could get the nomination. And I would vote for him if he ran as a third party candidate.

There is a left. But we got obliterated by the divide and conquer strategy of identity politics. It is impossible to talk about the gentrification of the Democratic Party with Democrats, because they just point to the interior decorating they did in the House of Representatives with diverse people. You know, trickle down diversification. We're not just adding tokens of diversification to the aristocracy or anything.
 
I am close to a hundred percent certain that Bernie can't run this time. Some people who blame him for Hillary's loss have been busily preparing a smear campaign against him, should he enter the race.

The democratic party would be seen as radically right wing by UK standards, and we aren't that left wing. The US has been nudging further and further right for decades until the last election where you took a massive lunge to the right which has emboldened the worlds arseholes.
