It is good to see Bernie out there active. The only issue is where does this all go? Harris lost and no leadership changes has been made. Dems are actively throwing their hands up saying they can't do anything.

Bernie lines up all the people who thought of leaving the Democrats and prevents them from organizing around an alternative.

Then when the next election comes Bernie tells them to unconditionally vote Democrat because they have no other choice.

Pied Piper Sanders.

So then we vote in the next milqtoast neolib who doesn't meaningfully improve things in enough time to stop people from voting R again?

We need a leftist party and as long as the Neolibs are in control of the Democrats they will never allow that to happen.

I can only hope to people not looking to the DNC for answers and we break their duopoly with some sort of working class / labor party.
