an electoral loser like MFA.
Purist hard left politics is electoral poison in the RW-spun up, artificially skewed (via decades long gamesmanship of RW gerrymandering at state and Federal district level, plus systemic voter suppression, and the insane level of RW born-again thug xianism involved in the zeitgeist) United States of America.
Come over here to the Nordics in the EU, you will love our political systems, and almost of Bernie's platform stances and long term visions (and far beyond) are already law (and actually supported by even the centre-right parties to most degree.) The farthest to the centre of the US Democratic reps and Senators (probably around 40 to 50% of the Caucus) would be in the centre right parties here, and the most right of the Dems (say a Manchin or a Cuellar or a Sinema or a Collin Peterson type) would be on the farthest RIGHT side of the centre right parties (or not even let in, due to bigoted beliefs against LGBTQ such as Cuellar and a few others unfortunately hold.) That is how skewed the US is to the right.
I go back and forth between multiple countries all the time. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to instantly see the difference.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
