Nothing in recent history proves this to be true. The fact of the matter is there is absolutely no difference between establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats beyond pandering to a few social wedge issues.
Both parties have grown the government, held endless war, passed laws that enrich the 1% for shipping jobs overseas, done nothing for crime, done nothing for poverty, and so forth.
This is why the real progressives in the DEM party have abandoned Hillary Clinton.
