Been thinking about this for a while now watching the US Congress. If you are a Bernie fan, as I am, it might have been a good thing he lost. This congress would have cockblocked him on everything he would want to do, including the Democrats. Atleast now he has 4 years (well 2 more now) to change that dynamic and get allies there to help him.
@DireMaker He won’t get enough
@Alaxlmartin I think he will. If his mandate is a large as I believe it will be, he will be able to put political pressure on any Dems who don't support his agenda. Bernie will use the bully pulpit unlike BO did. If you don't support SP, Bernie will be in your state supporting your primary opponent. This is what it will take.
@Alaxlmartin Also, the progressive movement and groups like JD, BC, OR will have more experience in getting progressives elected. They have many wins under their belt already. The 2020 cycle will be even better, especially if Bernie helps these candidates during his run.
