The Republicans and Democrats are two faces of the same failure. And there will be no real hope of rescue by third parties until the American system of electoral politics is rebuilt from the ground up.
Nice try, but no cigar.
The current movement is not just toppling predators in high places: It is defying the core sickness and rigid hierarchy of corporate culture.
