Isn't that why we (DU, not necessarily me. I'd have been happy with either) supported Bernie? He was an outsider, promising big change to the current status quo, exactly as Trump has done.

And you're correct local races are just as important, if not more, than national races. It's where the "bench" comes from. Right now, we have no bench, just a bunch of old people who have been around forever, yet promise a new direction.

The country doesn't want that. They literally want a new direction, as difficult as it is for establishment Dems to realize that.
