No, the strategy the DNC should pursue next time is not to find better bait for their Establishment hook, but to actually put forward legislation that will give the 99% an economic shot in the arm.
They won't do that, of course, because the Establishment is never wrong. The Establishment is now and forever. They'll fall into the usual role of comfortable 'opposition' and watch the gravy train keep rolling into the station anyway. The only way they'd ever wake up and realize they need to do something else would be if everybody just walked away from them and they woke up to see their last crony had been voted out of office.
Washington DC delenda est.
