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.
He would have done some good things, but it would have been good to force the dems to rebel against him. Like how Corbyn basically forced the PLP to kill Labour to stop any movement to the centre left. A huge rift in the dems where Pelosi as majority leader was siding with republicans to stop Bernie from increasing entitlements would be crushing for Dems. Now Dems basically recuperated the dem soc enthusiasm from Bernie and there's only movement in the neoliberal direction in current institutions
This, I was actually really looking forward to seeing how the pelosi gang turned against him in the election. You would have a democratic candidate where the Democratic speaker of the house would be saying things like "oh you know he's very radical...." Really interesting to think how what would've played out
