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.

    Bernie is the only leftist in the Senate. So until that changes it will be impossible to move beyond him.

      We need a progressive takeover of the democratic party. The MAGAs tranformed the republican party in what 10 years?

      If we have midterms it has to start then.

        Probably won’t happen. The DNC are conservatives and the majority of the US is too. Most ppl are too dumb/uninformed to see left leaning politics is what they actually want

      I think the language is funky. They’re saying beyond, like take his ideas and go even further, not move away from Bernie. They want more and better of him.

      Reading the article, the argument is that Bernie isn’t left enough, and more radical candidates need to be run in primaries.
