There are four factions that matter in American politics now

11. That will never happen because the "take over" is based on incorrect ideas.

The Our Revolution/Justice Democrats assumption: the working class is united by economic ideology and when true progressive leaders finally come along, the 99% will unite against the 1%, rise up, and the revolution begin. People vote Republican (or don't vote) because of economic insecurity and because Democratic policies aren't progressive enough. Racism and white identity have nothing to do with it. Identity politics are a distraction. If it's explained to The People why they shouldn't vote against their own economic interests, they won't. Solidarity. That since 1972 the Democratic Party has had the same economic policies as Republicans and ignored working/middle classes because all "corporate Democrats" care about is Wall Street/corporate/donor class/billionaire money. That "corporate Democrats" have stopped at nothing to prevent progressive legislation to keep those sweet bribes coming in (Republicans are sort of innocent bystanders, not the real enemy). The corrupt and immoral Democratic Party must be taken over for The People's Revolution to begin.

Well, obviously this is wrong, ridiculous. A fantasy. Who would believe that nonsense? That's why it's a failure.
