I saw a strongly worded email from a Both Sides leader yet again blaming Democrats for Trump.

"As our major institutions collapse, the Democratic leadership offers nothing more than tinkering around the edges and defending the status quo," that despite his policies, "Donald Trump has become the agent of 'change.'" Then the long list of American problems the Democratic Party has always had policies and goals for, but in this imaginary world Democrats think these goals are too radical, are terrified of them, have no idea that economic inequality exists, pal around with oligarchs who bribe them and they have to do everything they say and be immoral and corrupt forever and ever.

Then the part where the majority of Americans agree with the policies and goals of the strongly worded email author (when you have the same goals but need to crate division and hate, attack Democrat's character, lie), including "many of the working people who have fled the Democratic Party for Trump because he promised to bring massive change." Left and Right populists will join together against the 1%. No mention of voting for Democrats.The people will rally. That is the political revolution.

Uh, what's the message here? What's the point?
