And I say Bernie's legacy is going to be people like AOC and Ilhan Omar, ideas like free college and single-payer becoming mainstream, the word "socialism" becoming destigmatized, and there being a bridge between young voters (to whom people like Hillary and Biden have nothing to say), and the Democratic party. Because let's be clear: the near-unfettered capitalism of the USA is an existential threat to the next generation of people, and socialism is the antidote.
Bernie's legacy means many things, including what I said. Ignoring his flaws don't make them disappear. The negative consequences of those actions will occur, regardless.
That was my point. It's really bizarre to think that 3 years is enough time to succeed. You've decided it failed already. Meanwhile he has largely influenced all the candidates to be more left this election cycle. What happens with whoever wins? Does that not count?
Except that was never enough to please Bernie or many of his supporters. Influence alone has no pacified the left in the slightest, they want it all now.
