Why would the Elite Establishment Democrats want to push to essentially redistribute wealth, provide free healthcare, end wars, create unions, provide free college, and create a green environment? It's essentially voting away their own money and investments, and that's not going to happen.
The DNC/DCCC leadership is centrist, near neoconservative at this point, and the Democratic voters are not in line with what the leadership wants and essentially forces upon them.
I think it's time for a serious radical (radical for the US, not say...full communism) left wing third party, free from big money and corporate influence, that really represents the workers to give them rights back and start creating unions. I think you'd start pulling in a good portion of the 50% bloc that doesn't vote because they'd actually have some subsistence to vote for instead of the same two business & war party garbage over and over that benefits the few at the expense of the many.

Can you explain what you mean? Individually paying for something is taxpayer funded, unless you're Al Capone. Not sure what you mean by this. Strangely, my original comment was flagged. Here’s what it said: > free healthcare... free education... Don’t you mean taxpayer funded? Whoever flagged this question is welcome to explain why.
