I don't see much "revolt" in America. The movement behind Sanders and Trump are honestly because they have no serious policy statement and thus present a Rorschach test for the public. They stand exactly for what you want them to stand for.
Sanders has no serious policy statement? He has called for single payer healthcare, raising the minimum wage, card check for unions, increased taxes, breaking up large banks, opposing the TPP. Plus he has an over 20 year long voting record that is remarkably consistent to judge him on.
Lumping him in with Trump as not having any serious policy is ridiculous.

Bernie Sanders personifies them. The more he advocates a fundamental retooling of our economy and democracy in favor of average working people, the more popular he becomes among those who no longer trust the ruling class to bring about necessary change.
