    Until and unless a progressive force claims the populist space, Trump will be happy to occupy it uncontested.

        Liberals who still spend their time reveling in Trump's apparent political incompetency have not learned anything from the 2016 election.

        Fragmented progressive forces have to get it together to cohere into a progressive populist equivalent of the Tea Party.

        Liberals are afraid of such a move, because they think that's moving to the "left extreme."

        They fail to see that progressive positions on most economic and social issues now enjoy super-majority support.

        They fail to see that the supposed "center" is no longer tied to any substantial social base.

        They fail to see the major realignment process underway, where old stances are shifting as populist insurgents articulate new visions.

        They fail to see that Trump ascended because he took on the superficial trappings of outsiderdom, which enabled him to play "insurgent."

        Liberals fail to see how Trump was only able to effectively claim the populist space because they first failed to even attempt to claim it.

        But it's not enough for aspiring progressive populist insurgents to critique the failures of liberals or the Democratic Party establishment.

        The Democratic Party leadership's long-term abandonment of working people culminated spectacularly in its electoral failures in 2016.

        When a political party's leadership cohort fails so spectacularly, it is typically replaced—with haste...

        The hard truth is that aspiring progressive populist insurgents were nowhere close to ready to replace the @DNC's stale leadership.

        Because the hard truth is most of us are amateurs who do not actually know how to organize an actual social base into a political force.

        To be clear, @DNC doesn't know how to do that very well either. But they sit atop an old structure that can still harness reliable voters.

        The only path to power available to populist insurgents is to inspire and organize a new base of presently "unreliable" voters.

        But the left is stuck in a long-developing class-based insularity.

        Politically active liberals and their more radical insurgent offspring are mostly situated within the top 20% of US society.

        Those who join the ranks from the working class tend to assimilate into the social elitism of the clubhouse.

        And progressives will remain on the sidelines unless and until a crop of insurgent leaders breaks from this class-insular holding pattern.
