Why should I/you join a political party?

I think the level of success that Bernie Sanders’ campaign had was an indicator that that sort of thing is getting closer, even if it didn’t happen this time and was ostensibly within the Democrat party.

Democratic party, and there was nothing ostensible about it. Sanders stood for core Democratic principles, and there is no reason that his supporters can’t capitalize on this to reform the party other than the will to do so.
