        We had it; it was called Occupy Wall Street.

        The difference is, the Tea Party got backed by right-wing billionaire ghouls and took over the Republican Party, while OWS (being explicitly anti-corporate) got brutally suppressed by the owner class instead.

          Ows was no where near as organized as the tea party was. Also the tea party was an actual attempt at a party and got involved in politics. While I supported ows it was mostly a protest movement.

      Sure.

      If Democrats are just gonna become Republicans Lite or continue doing more of the same “status quo” nonsense that lost them all three branches of the government, I’m down for something new.
