We Sanders supporters need to recognize that his brand is damaged now

63. They were both better on other issues...but both were too timid on economics

We need to go full New Deal and pro-labor on economic policy, offer something that values and provides actual hope to the victims of the completely unnecessary post-1981 economic changes that were inflicted on this country.

A lot of people have been on the losing end since 1981, while only a tiny few have benefited from things like mass layoffs, outsourcing, wage cuts, benefit cuts, and loss of union representation.

We can win those people to a coalition for real change if we make it clear that we recognize that a lot of people were sacrificed for the interest of a few...some of them white, some of them black, some Latinx, some Native American, some LGBTQ, and at least half of te total were women.

I understand why you were against Bernie on his handling of race...but why on economics? It's not like the last 36 years have been good for the Democratic base. Women, LGBTQ people, people of color, and immigrants were hit even HARDER by entrenched Reaganism than the white men you think Bernie cares about more than anybody else. They were victimized by institutional oppression, but they were also victimized by corporate greed.
