They won't; sponsored by the big capital, they are not capable of providing a large systemic change without losing the platform to speak on.
The issue is systemic, and Dems are not fit to solve it. Third party, funded by the regular people, is the only way forward.
Yes, but that doesn't mean they can't get away from it. Sanders managed to run very strong presidential primary campaigns, twice, and almost all of his funding was from individual donors giving his campaign under $100 each.
Dems could do this, if leadership had the will.
3rd parties can't, or they can't yet, because none of them have put in sufficient work at a grassroots level yet to consistently win places on state legislatures, much less federally.
