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.

We need more like sanders. Fuck the democrats. I want independents and I want all those who aren’t on board with the Democrat party to recognize it’s time for a change. Especially now in this time of rebuilding while conservatives are in power.

Yes, and no. Yes, we do need to move beyond him and seek out fresh, new voices. No, because we still need him to provide his own opinions while he is still here. We can have both.

Trash article.

Their foreign policy criticism of Bernie is that he told people to vote for Kamala, and she didn't do enough to stop the genocide in Gaza.

Like Jesus Christ, people like this are why the Democrats cant win.

Like fucking milk.

The left needs to stop with the purity tests and start doing the do the work. Bernie is flawed, as are we all, but he is out there knocking doors .

The left is way beyond Bernie Sanders, Democrats need to move beyond Bernie Sanders

Sanders's problem isn't policy, but organization. He's great at advocating policies, but there needs to be a better organization in creating more progressive politicians.

This article states pretty much everything I believe about American politics far more articulately than I ever could. I've decided; if I ever open an American branch of the NoneOfUrBusiness party I'm making this my manifesto.
