I really can't believe the level of Bernie derangement of so many people. Stalin did nothing wrong.

    i know this is a shit take but Bernie has been super quiet since he dropped out about anything that isn't "please vote for my friend joe" like he should have been pushing for M4A, jobs program, ubi, or anything for working ppl - but he never criticizes other democrats

      Bernie was never the savior. He was the bare minimum.

      If he got the nomination and won the race, he almost certainly wouldn't be able to get any real work done on M4A and the like. Congress would cock-block him every step of the way. But at least someone with Bernie's talking points might have been able to get people talking about his ideas and move the Overton window just a bit to the left.

        being able to use the bully pulpit to talk about class relations, being able to call on everyone to join and form unions, or even strikes...

        imagining another timeline where President Sanders joins a picket line of striking medical workers
