Dems have to actually be good and address real issues. The centrism of soundbites combined with rampant corruption is hated by everyone. If they want to win, they have to appoint someone who is more than an empty suit run by special interests and polls.

Trump claimed he'd address corruption (newsflash, he's even worse) and that he'd shake up the status quo. Even though he's an insane, egotist with a borderline intellect and Nazi sympathies, people wanted something different.

Unfortunately, the democrats answered Trump by putting another white bread, sound-clip democrat who doesn't really stand for anything on the ticket and stifled any other challenge to their status quo. When people are offered two awful mannequins in suits, they choose the better of the two. When they are offered a mannequin in a suit and someone who claims to want real change and claims to have real values, then people will vote for the person who claims to have principles, even if he/she turns out to be a liar and a proto-nazi.

If democrats lose, it's because they haven't learned their lesson that they can't keep putting suits without principles on the ballot. They need to find someone who actually stands for something.
