Sanders is one of the most popular politicians in the US, and his political analysis and messaging remain as relevant and compelling as ever. But while his Tour to Fight Oligarchy is inspiring and important, the broad left badly needs a political vision that goes beyond Sanders.

      Yep, article is well meaning but dumb.

      Idealism is great, but politics requires pragmatism. Which is why people like AOC and Bernie (who are well left of Kamala politically) still told voters to vote for Kamala in the election - she was the only way to avoid Trump, she was the pragmatic choice.

      But apparently we’ll be discussing why it’s a dumb idea to be a protest voter in a very close election for the next four years non-stop.

    No.

    The Left needs to get rid of fucking Schumer.

    Let Bernie retire, because the man was there for the signing of the declaration (pretty sure his signature is just below Adams’s.)

    Let the man retire. Get rido f the Quaislings that seem content to be ineffectual opposition.

    Do stuff other than beg the base for money and give people somethign they can be involved in. Start looking at community efforts. Build ties at the base’s own level so the base SEES the Democratic party Doing stuff locally that HELPS them.
