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 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.

      *The Koch Brothers et al. used their vast wealth to transform the Republican Party in 10 years.

      The biggest problem the left faces is that money is required for any political action in the U.S., and there is no money for the left. No billionaire will fund 50501, or Our Revolution, and in fact they’ll gladly spend several million dollars defeating leftist primary challengers and suppressing news of protests.

      Our political system is hopelessly rigged. There is no longer any way to use it to save ourselves.

      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
