Leftists are responsible for $15/hr in Seattle btw, Socialist Alternative ran a candidate for city council on $15/hr platform, and won, and pushed the campaign until it finally got passed, against the efforts of democrats and corporate interests.

There's like a million other examples of leftists accomplishing stuff like that while fighting the democratic establishment along the way, the democrats suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Paineframes experience is mostly based on twitter people he reads but doesnt like. Those on the ground are definitely more in the defiant and oppositional camp. They dont even really see Bernie as a leader, but his campaign certainly helped them to realize they had power.

Bernie isnt a leader, just the person who, in the words of Alinsky, turned their bad scene into a solveable problem.

I don't read Twitter. The things I'm telling people in this thread are based on the things I'm seeing from people in this thread, where there's been constant whining about how the centrists haven't already willingly surrendered all power to the left. Yes, I know there are real leftists accomplishing real victories in the trenches right now, but that's got nothing to do with people who are throwing tantrums over DNC chair votes and whining from across the Atlantic about the mean centrists.

The best way to resist is bragging about all the political consultants you known in the DNC or trying to shame people for not continuing to embrace failed centrism.

Cause dems were supposed to be our voice. A lot of leftists like me thought the party wasn't as leftist because those ideas were untenable with the general populace. Bernie and Hillary's campaign made 2 things clear: 1) that leftist ideology was not as verboten in general as we were led to believe and 2) that the dems were not actually willing to push for leftism nor were they working to make leftist thought mainstream or palatable as they had been claiming.

Maybe you think people like me who voted for and bought into campaign Obama are fools not worth listening to, but I actually thought Obama and the dems were going to push for tax increases on the rich and a public option. I slowly came to the realization that he had been just talk through his whole presidency, and Hillary's campaign hammered home just how much that was the case for dems in general.

Bernie's campaign was, at best, welfare liberalism

the entire socialist renaissance that's arisen is far to Bernie's campaign's left
