Dem party needs to wake the fuck up and support these anti-trump protests, help organize them and build new political candidates from them to infuse new faces into the party, just like tea party. Dem money needs to fund the organization of these protests, bus people out to them etc, just like tea party.
This luke warm dem shit doesn't work. Policy can be mid-left, but the persona needs to be loud and populist. Warren is a good model. American people don't pay enough attention for policy to be the first concern -- it's more about being inspirational and believable. Even polls for bernie supporters backed that up.
First and foremost, american people want the country to be rebalanced -- there's a desire to tear down the elites (economic and political) and there were enough people that thought trump could do it and they thought it was worth the potential dangers, but if you can combine that populism with pro-diversity inclusion and positivity, I think you have the winning formula and you leave republicans with only their bigoted core. There's a strong racist cohort in america, but the fact that trump got fewer votes than romney and clinton shows it's beatable -- but you can't beat it with the same politicians america is tired of.
