You see, the Democrats were supposed to be the party of the working class, just like Labor was supposed to be in Britain. But they were not. So the working class gave them a major "fuck you" in both countries. It's not too hard to see if you're not blinded by the millions you get from "campaign contributions" and "speaking fees".
The problem is, the "fuck you" vote usually doesn't lead where it's supposed to.
Yes, the populist vote can be the most volatile because it is the result of a pent up frustration by being ignored. It provides a sense of mandate to an angry electorate.
I feel the same way, unfortunately. Maybe, just maybe this guy is headstrong enough to unclog the logjam in Washington. Any movement at this point would be an improvement to the status quo. It may galvanize good people to start acting responsibly. I don't know. This is a real outsider at the helm.

What they don't realize is they will still be ignored and just get tossed a crumb or two when things get close to the breaking point.
I'm not holding my breath. It's been my observation that nothing changes,and the things the 99% want are never discussed by any party.
