I worry there were people who could have been pushed farther Left without Bernie that have instead been pushed into the Democratic Party by him and sheepdogs like him.
It's possible, ultimately that was probably the Democratic Party's goal, but same could probably be said about Warren fans. There are always people that could be good Leftists but get caught up in either the Democratic or Republican Party, it's unavoidable when they are the dominant political powers, but it's still surprising there was someone around that got younger people thinking about organizing along the Left.
No dude you're not allowed to do that, you can't point out that sheepdogs are effective and that's why that strategy is used, you're supposed to just assume things could never be better
Well i probably wouldn't be here without Bernie. Being as actively involved in the voting process as i was that year have me a front row seat to view how thoroughly it has been corrupted.
but he didn't get me in to the Democratic party, he got me out. I remember after he was ratfucked by the biden campaign, one of his faithful asked him "so what do we do now?" and his answer, broke my fuckin heart.
I worry, but I'm also hopeful that people outgrew Bernie the same way. I think what we really need is a party that can reach out to Bernouts to help move beyond playing voteball every couple years. As it is all we have are Internet communities and podcasts, so only a fraction of people are escaping.

Libs gonna lib, though.

Yeah I think something like that needs to start local
