The Tea Party didn't really succeed. Otherwise Ted Cruz would be President and Glenn Beck wouldn't be mea culpa-ing. Instead, it mutated and split like a colony of paramecia until one strand got lucky enough to gain dominance.
Likewise, Occupy will not be the Democratic means to populist success, nor will Bernie-ism. It will be something else entirely which may gain inspiration from these movements, but might even be different enough that yesteryear's populist Democrats might not identify with it.
