14. Sanders showed that it's possible

Sad that it takes a registered independent to show them the way. He went where no Democrat dared. He publicly took on, not Republican policies per say, but the autocratic establishment that caters to only 1%. It's just that it's mostly Republicans (obviously not all) are in that camp. And he showed that a popular chord can be struck with a solid message that does not compromise.
But for Democrat reps, they'd have to be brave enough to challenge their own parties over 20 year strategy of third way triangulation who's very definition is Compromise. The DLC is made up of elite corporatists as we speak.
