    Bernie wound up having a far greater political impact in the country than anyone would have believed 10 years ago. He didn’t have to become president to influence a shift…democrats have gotten alot better overall on domestic policy and the way Bernie inspired millions of us to demand this from the dems we vote for was hugely impactful imo.

      It’s almost like supporting progressives down ballot provides greater success than crucifying the Democratic Party up ballot especially during a presidential race.

      It’s almost like Bernie working with Biden was better than “Bernie or Biden but fuck the possibility of both”. I mean just ask Bernie what he did…

      Like we are living the benefit of compromise while folks keep saying any possible compromise is the end times…
