Our entire political system is broken--and totally co-opted by the corporate megalomaniacs who've usurped our media, our government, and our global economy.

Public education, a relatively recent 'social leveling tool,' has never been fully supported by the 'powers that be.' Even now, the best, and most exclusive, schools are reserved for the uber wealthy, with the expectation that their monied offspring will reap the sweetest plums: those rare, cushy jobs with the highest salaries and the best benefits.

Still, here you are, denigrating the "democratic party" for "lacking visible (didn't you mean?) organization." This is akin to telling a battered woman that if she would just shut up and do what her husband demands, she wouldn't get hit. Core Democratic ideals will remain the target of the vile hedonists who fully intend to insure their GLOBAL hegemony, and NOTHING we Democrats 'do' within the current toxic system will change that reality.

Indeed, our entire species is facing catastrophic economic reordering, as the hoi polloi continues to witness the ginormous disconnect between what the corporatists (and their sock puppets here--most of the Republicans and quite a few Democrats) are telling us, and what we're actually experiencing. You see, these uber Wealthy sociopaths are underestimating us--to their peril.

BTW, hierarchy transcends party lines, and is the most damaging social construct we humans have *ever* inflicted on ourselves.
