With any luck, Mueller's investigation will bring Donald Trump and his team the justice they so richly deserve. But that won't save the Democrats.
The party's voters are looking to movements to bring them new leaders and a leftward shift. That's smart. Movements have energy, independence, and commitment. They can reshape a party's leadership, infuse it with new ideas, and populate it with activists. That's because a movement is more than a party. It's something broader and deeper, something that infuses its members' lives with purpose and meaning.
Party leaders will fight back, of course. In fact, they already are. But their record of failure shows that the tide of history is against them. On the left, at least, the voters are once again way ahead of the politicians.
