Over the weekend, I noticed that Democrat leaders have sent letters to bankers encouraging them to publicly denounce the selection of Bannon.

Bannon (who himself did a stint at Goldman Sachs) is on record denouncing bankers for their greed. He abhors the inside deals that dumped the cost of the banking crisis on the taxpayer while bankers ran away with all their loot. Long before Trump's campaign, Bannon was saying that bankers who contributed to the crisis and escaped without consequence, need to be charged and held to account. Certainly Middle America feels that insider deals and favoritism allowed bankers to escape consequences of what they did. I can just hear Trump hollering "drain the swamp!" as he paints Democrats into a corner with banksters who cost honest American workers hundreds of billions of dollars to line their own pockets and fund the Democratic party etc etc.

The best thing Democrats can do now, is stop protesting everything they see. Rather than squalling, Democrats need to be good losers, showing grace and humility to learn from mistakes. The time to present reasoned objections that confirm their own eligibility for next time, is when Trump or his cabinet screws up. Otherwise Trump is going to control the narrative 100% for the next 4 years while the Democrats cry in their echo chamber wilderness.
