The people will need to coerce the Democratic Party to fundamentally change the system. That will NOT be easy, in fact, it'll be nearly impossible. Same case with starting a new progressive party. Too many progressives are disillusioned for it to have widespread support, which leaves us back with the democrats. I'm sad to say that I'm not sure there's any way out of the current situation for the left in this country, at least not for a while.

I would say progressives are disillusioned because they don't HAVE a party. I think they would rally in a massive way behind the formation of a new party of their own, founded on authentic progressive principles, IF they trusted the leadership behind the formation and organization of the party. That's where people like Cenk come in.
