I'm happy too, Gregor. I don't think you can take over a party like the Democrats.
Seriously, what is it composed of? Tech, Finance, Pharma, Insurance, the intelligence Agency and white collared workers that thrive in these industries.
That's not a small order for 'taking over' when your looking down the barrel of some of the most powerful and lethal corporate boards on the planet.
Better to maneuver around them than try and take on a frontal assault of a 'take over'. Sanders was amazingly close but didn't have the cajones> He's fallen back to his usual role of a good company man.
Third parties are one option. Already been going on, though Dem corp. has been fighting these efforts as well.
Sometimes it's better to start from scratch than do a remodel.
