Watched it. The big takeaway for me came with this moment: the crowd starts chanting "Bernie! Bernie!" and Bernie stops them and says "NO! Not Bernie! I got bad news for you-- It's you!"
He's trying to get progressive people to run for office, any office, every office, wherever they can. I think it's probably the best possible play at the moment.
E: credit to Match!!@pawb.social for the correction on the quote
Americans have been so brainwashed by Hollywood, Jesus and superhero stories that they think one hero is going rise up to save them all.
No one is coming to save us. We only have each other.
