A decade after Bernie Sanders began with 1% support, his fight for working people is reshaping US politics. Progressive candidates scored major wins nationwide. Is this the wave he set in motion?

    His message is simple, and the Democrats should adopt it: how can we have a trillionaire, but lack the funds to provide universal health coverage?

    Bernie is one of the better democrat leaders. I wish the 2016 election had been between Bernie and Carson instead of Bernie and Trump.

    I mostly love a bernie but I’ll believe “paid off” when they actually get some real systemic changes completed. Flipping seats should be the means, not the goal.

        Candidates won because people accepted them, and voted for them.

        it has nothing to do with this c-word.

    Bernie is a true believer and the closest thing to a politician I trust. How he’s been treated by the establishment is a great illustration of how corrupt our entire system has become, and his patience in continuing to navigate it without giving up or selling out is… Really something.

    The best I ever felt voting was when I voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary.

      So many neo-liberal apologists out there for what the DNC did. I asked one why they did it anyway if “progressives” don’t show up to vote. They got angry, MAGA CHUD angry.

          I mean… he won but got fucked out of it. That’s what the “Hilary’s emails” stuff was all about, clear collusion between her and the DNC to subvert their own processes. It’s interesting and important history if you’re looking for a rabbithole today

            What exactly happened with that? I know he won the first couple states like Iowa and NH but then the superdelagates didn’t choose him or something? But by that point I thought he was already losing in the next batch of state elections (because he was too “radical” while Hilary was the “safe” choice).

              Yeah, superdelegates negotiating a deal vs directly representing their constituencies was the core of it. Apparently she’d made prior concessions in exchange for it being “her turn” that time and the nomination was essentially decided before voting began. When things weren’t working out that way the superdelegates were told how to vote and did, the arguments where she insisted on that were a highlight of the email leaks. It was a long time ago and I’m probably not the one to ask, tf even is a “superdelegate”? Sounds made up.

    Yea I call BS. This is somehow the same Bernie that was the patron saint of return2ozama’s anti dem crusade?

    This is the same Bernie that caucused with those same evil dems that return2ozama demonized.

    The same dems they crucified fOr ThE gEnOcIdE…

    Now Dems are suddenly okay by their measure. Now return2ozama’s happy to claim it was “Bernie all along” like Bernie had control of the Dem party.
