On their best day, the Dems claimed to be a party for ALL classes, the workers and the bosses. Of course even basic analysis would show that his is an impossibility. Class struggle is a zero-sum game. When the bosses win, the workers lose and vice versa. Change comes from the bottom up as you said. Until the capitalists feel their very existence is threatened, they will do nothing. And that's probably even more true today than it was in the past with capitalism running up against real limits on growth and a short term (next quarter) attention span.
BTW welcome to DU and check out our Socialist Progressives group. It's big enough that you'll probably find some co-thinkers there.
