The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can't happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.
If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we'd be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.
Nope. Maybe re-read the sentence carefully:
At the end of the day, Sanders had 43% of the vote compared to Clinton's 55%. That doesn't involve super delegates, that's just not enough progressives showed up to win. Pretty simple stuff.
Like, I love the folks claiming we need a revolution etc are also stymied by the need to get the majority of Left leaning Americans to agree with them.
