This is a party with no internal debate about priorities. Bernie Sanders is a lone leftist voice in a party which is unabashedly capitalist.

Strength in politics comes from winning over the people. It comes from popularity and a willingness to engage in fierce debate. There is no debate within the Democratic Party. Name two Democrats who lock horns over policy ..... bet you can't.

Who is leading the opposition to Trump and the GOP ? There is no voice. No alpha character. No coherent philosophy. No anger which mirrors the mood of the electorate.

The most successful Democratic POTUS was FDR. Elected 4x. He wouldn't be welcome in the neoliberal economic paradigm of the party today,

Everything changed when the dominant Boomer generation graduated college , entered the work force and decided they didn't want to pay taxes. Reagan delivered that. He won 49 states in 1984 and the Democrats morphed into Republicans. Obama admitted it. He claimed in 2012 that his policies were moderate and the equivalent of an 80's Republican.

The greatest "fake news" is the labeling of Democrats as leftists. LOL. We don't have a labor party in America. We are the only country that bankrupts our citizens through medical bills and education. Democrats don't try to stop that.

Republicans don't either, but that has been their traditional role for the lasty century.
