"This is a natural evolution in American political history, it's time for the people, the base, to smell the coffee and realize the party of business does not want the lumpen proletariat anymore."

I "sensed" their rejection of "us" and the shift some years ago...and after 54 years of total loyalty, left the Dem Party. For me, remaining a registered Democrat Endorsed what they've become--which is far below expectations, promises and acceptability.
I reject the "New" Democratic Party. They are sub par selfish politicians who use their power as a means to serve only the wealthy special interests while making/breaking "promises made" based upon what they "think" we want to hear--and then go Vote With the opposition . Votes matter for it is the Single way they cannot avoid making their true positions known. We must learn to research their votes, accept the reality of them and forget about political affiliations, demand explanations and be willing to challenge their bs answers (excuses).

"What I am seeing is the beginnings of what both parties fear: voter revolts"

I agree. We, the people are coming together-learning to ignore MSM et al who are still trying & in still too many arenas, are keeping the divisions deep---but it's beginning to crumble---We have a growing number of folks from all walks of life and political beliefs realizing that at the core-we All want the same things.
We are slowing beginning to communicate over back fences all across America...and that is good.
Thanks for a Great post.
