    This is what Parkland survivor David Hogg suggested and started to work for a few months ago, but was shut down by established democrats, for not being the traditional practice.

    Left wing Democrats need to be more active in the party, and take it over, like happened with Republican party first with Occupy Wall street, which the billionaires (Koch Brothers) hijacked and distorted completely, and paved the way for Maga which is 100% controlled by fundamental billionaires with no regard for the welfare of the general public.

    But hopefully the left can manage to stop the billionaire control of the democratic party. So instead of just being the lesser evil, it could become a force for true progress in USA again, like USA had for almost 40 years straight post WW2.

    David Hogg is a brilliant strategist, as he proved by taking down NRA, and he also managed to get this issue more on the agenda, support David Hogg, and he will support you!

        Yes you are right, but the origin of the tea party was in Occupy Wall Street. The tea party was an intermediate that slipped my mind. It was the result of the billionaires taking over Occupy Wall Street. Something we could watch happen in real time.

          Ehhh… I think the connections to occupy are a bit dubious, but I could be misremembering.

          Tea Party was more a direct response to Obama that was co-opted by the Kochs.

          If there was any overlap, it was with the kind of people who voted for Trump and AOC. Confused people.
