Bernie Sanders’ Political Revolution Still Can Triumph and Transform America. Here’s How.
Truthdig, by Alan Minsky 17 March 2016
The Bernie Sanders campaign has shown that traditional left-wing politics are far more popular among the American public than anyone realized a few months ago. Indeed, Sanders’ surprising success suggests that American left progressives are the most underrepresented constituency in the country. And given that Sanders’ campaign was probably the first time millions of Americans encountered these ideas, it’s reasonable to think they will become even more popular with greater familiarity.
Thus, the 2016 Sanders campaign for president, however the second half of the primary process plays out, should be a starting point, not the end game. But given the sorry history of left politics in America, there’s every reason to think nothing will come of it. So the salient questions for left progressives are:...SNIP
...In other words, socialism (or at least social democracy) all but conquered the Democratic Party in 2016, and the future looks much brighter. Let’s make sure that massive and growing constituency has representation. If we do so, we can change the world and improve the lives of us all.
Now is no time to feel despondent. There’s a world to win. Let’s not take our eyes off the prize.
And, oh yeah, if Bernie doesn’t take the lead on this, we’ll do it ourselves.
