Are you implying that none of those people who became socdems cause of Bernie went on to become actual leftists? I know that’s how my radicalization process started, and I’m sure a lotta people on here had the same story even if they’re too embarrassed to admit it
Most Americans had no concept of politics to the left of Obama before Bernie Sanders. To act like he failed to radicalize people because they didn’t instantly go from shitlibs to Marxist-Leninists is disingenuous af and totally ignores how most people (in America at least) actually get radicalized
Yes, there seems to be a tendency on the left to totally ignore the right's success in building a pipeline towards their beliefs, and instead complain about anyone doing anything short of preaching perfect leftist orthodoxy to the choir. No, we shouldn't be satisfied with Bernie as the standard-bearer for the left. But as a tool for getting people part of the way through their radicalisation? He seems like a positive to me.
