I can't stand (prefer to eliminate and replace it with a different party) one of them. I'm very disappointed with a portion of the other one right now.
But, meanwhile, it's finger pointing and blame game time. This forum illustrates this as well as anything. People living in different alternate realities will viciously attack assorted straw men. It seems wise to sit back until the garbage burns out, assuming it ever burns out.
But mild applause for Bernie for throwing out something that might be a starting point for talking.
I'm not sure whether to agree with you entirely for once, or hold out and insist on stronger terms than "not happy", "prefer to eliminate" or "very disappointed". We've got a mess.
