I don't think it's about education and encouragement. I think the Democrats need to reach out to their constituents and motivate them to fight for a progressive democracy.

How can they do that with the corruption that is entrenched in the party?

How about dropping the neo-liberal deficit fixation and focus on raising taxes.
The DNC was at its best when it was accomplishing big things. This party needs to have the backbone to stand up to the corporate interests and austerity fanatics who say the US is just too broke to tackle hard problems.
Leadership and candidates without a bold vision for progress will never lead us to prosperity.

No they don't, they just need to put forward a populist agenda vs a crony handout agenda. Ramming Hillary down our throats was kind of rapey, and really put a bad taste in our mouths, but what did we learn from populism? We learned that Citizens United can be negated by public enthusiasm, and record primary turnout proves that the populist agenda will get people to the polls. As for the snakes entrenched in the establishment ridiculing and messaging against that, that is another story rooted in brand loyal voters that don't read much about who they vote for, they just check the box with an R or D next to it.
With all due respect, there are many of us would've preferred a different choice. And most of us don't think Bernie was a good alternative.
Ha ha. You think the Trump presidency is going to result in less of this kind of money? Or that he will appoint judges that would repeal this? Keep dreaming.
The fashion which the DNC ran their primary left me feeling violated, so the color worked for me. I will frame my ideas how I see fit, thank you very much.
As far as my "dreaming", nowhere did I declare any victories, I merely made and obvious observance, the Clinton machine struggled to compete with Sanders' fundraising.
I think the argument for populism has been made now, so what's your point?
