Imagine if, rather than blaming the "far left", (whatever you think that is),

243. There is.

People who supported Sanders as a candidate were people of the Left. anti-racism and support for anti-oppression politics was simply always part of their belief system.

As they saw it, he emphasized economic issues because nobody else was dealing with them.

For '18 and '20, we can take it out of the polarity of '16.

We can move on to the synthesis we should always have had...the social justice/anti-oppression positions the HRC campaign spoke of, COMBINED with the economic justice/anti-corporate dominance agenda of the other campaign.

Those sets of issues can easy be blended...they have never been in intrinsic conflict and there was never any need to choose between them, no matter what any candidate might have said.

So let's take it OUT of the question of any particular candidate and join forces with each other for what we are united in backing as people no matter what any past candidates might have done.
