I watch a lot of political coverage on YouTube. And lately I am seeing an increase of support

7. Already tried it. From 2017 Brand New Congress, Our Revolution, Justice Democrats bragged about the revolution to come.

They were 100% sure of a left/right wing populist alliance: replace the mean old guard corporate establishment Democrats (you forgot the "status quo" and "elite" insults).

Did that happen? No. Their audience shrank and fundraising dried up. Even if those types try again they'll fail because the whole idea is based on insults and things that don't exist.

They don't understand the U.S., demonize and lie about Democrats, mindlessly follow the same script of insults and slogans, think yelling stern speeches and yelling laundry lists of grievances is better than doing the hard work of getting legislature passed (which requires working with colleagues and not clinging to purity tests), spread ridiculous conspiracy theories about rigging and buying elections when voters don't vote for them. Nutty.
