Now we have a hybrid party that took the equality stances the party stood for and fused it with the economic platform made famous by Reagan and Thatcher.

It also appears as tho their Idea of middle class only includes six figure incomes as evidenced by Hillary's belief that raising the cap on payroll taxes (that caps it a around 100,000 dollars a year) and Obama's belief that much of bush's tax cuts had to be kept so that the middle class individuals in the 200,000 range and families in the 250,000 range would not be over taxed.

The other poster is correct, Bernie is working for the working class and the invisible (now) poor that neither party mentions except as a means to cut the budget.

Unfortunately, even in a Sander's administration, the workers and the poor would need an accompanying movement and more politicians elected that are willing to forgo the fortunes that are to be made by working for the comfortable and extremely well to do and vote to help pass his common sense working party values, he admits this fact and is challenging us to provide the movement and vote for the politicians required to save us from third world neoliberal exploitation of the working class and the starved euthanasia of the poor.

This will all have to happen within the Democratic party however because this is a two party system set up that way from the beginning, that is why he caucuses with the Democrats as do others that work for the working class and poor, most of which are already in the party (all is not bleak however because there are at least 90 to 100 such working people supporters that are ignored yet still present within the party)
