I should note that exceptions to this blandness are finally appearing, but none where I live,  

But would even Bernie Sanders have had the balls to break up the corporate trusts of our time  the way Teddy Roosevelt did at the turn of the last century? This is sorely needed today. Where's that one who just might have a grand slam home run in his/her bat?

That's exactly the problem. Yes, the New Dems seem to be stepping away from the neo-liberalism that's made that party just another GOP with social causes, but the new players are young and inexperienced. At best, they won't be ready for leadership for another decade -- maybe more. The GOP is so thoroughly rotten at this point that GOP stalwarts like George Will have left the party and are lobbying hard for voters to reject them in total. So it's the Professional Scumbags versus the Sandlot Neophytes. Even being optimistic and giving the Sandlotters the win, will they be able to do anything with it?
