You never know.  There basically is one consisting of people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Haven't applied yet, and won't at least through the 2018 election cycle, but I'm thinking some form of small scale transactional general practice

You'd like to start a liberal version of the tea party?

start is a strong word (not THAT much of an ego) but I definitely think it should happen and will help anyone working toward it.

You already basically have it among half of elected Democrats in the House and Senate.  While I strongly disagree with Bernie Sanders he at least had conviction and stood for something.  Him and Elizabeth Warren would be part of your tea party wing while Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden would be more establishment candidates.  I wouldn't mind seeing these left and right wings become part of the same bird either.  For example, I can get behind lowering the cost of college tuition and healthcare even if it means raising taxes.  Other things are income gaps, minimum wage being a few dollars higher, and prison reform.

The real reason the Democrats need their own Tea Party is to prevent the Establishment Dems from going full Globalist to counter Trump's Republican Nationalist movement.  

The Democratic Party should not be Globalist, and I really do think that's what the Establishment elite in the party want for the big donor bucks.  

Globalist vs Nationalist is a losing ideological battle in the US...it won't work.

Yea like Clinton getting money from countries that sponsor terrorism.
