That’s the only potential in stumping for Ole Bernard. Admit it. With Biden’s victory they can hold out hope that Bernie would’ve been able to do something different. There’s no alternative to an independent and international party of the working class.
Hmm. I'll need to think about it more.
Either way, the path Bernie tried was a dead end. He didn't get elected and even if he did w/o making compromises, I agree he would've been torn down much as you describe. I think we only disagree about whether there could be significant people mobilized to fight for "demsoc" changes in that situation.
Maybe that could have been better for radicalization of more people, but I could tell a plausible story of the opposite effect too
