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.

      Surprisingly, It’s sometimes easier to do big things.

      For example: Do social security instead of tinkering around the edges of the existing retirement system.

      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.

      So, would you then say “we can’t get more than what Kamala wants if we can’t even get what Kamala wants”?

      No.
