Same could be said about Corbyn in the UK but instead he was couped and now we have the red Tories taking money from those most vulnerable to keep the tax cuts for the rich.
November comes every year
In an alternate reality this guy didn’t went through Democrats Primary but run on his own, creating his own political party and team and in the long run I’m sure it would have actually paid off. Even if he would not have won any election for years this is about being able to share your narrative free of any outside influence.
Lol, even a pipe dream calls this unrealistic.
I love Bernie, but he would have not been successful if he went third party and probably would have gotten trump elected with an actual majority in 2016.
Even then you can’t present yourself as an alternative as long as you compromise with Democrat. How it has been done in France is a new party was created that refuse any compromise, they started with ridiculous number but kept growing election on election as the traditionnal left kept compromising each time they won. And now 20 years later the tables have turned and the old left party is basically dead on presidential election
Not sure how much difference it would make.
He would need 218 Progressives in the House, 50 Progressives in the Senate, unless there is a majority of Progressives, I doubt there will be any fundamental changes.
Probably some good executive orders tho.
If the Dems had followed their own primary rules we’d have just witnessed the end of Bernie’s second term and people would be clamoring for term limits to be lifted so he could run again.
But Dems, ironically, aren’t actually democratic.
