The legacy of "The Left"

I agree with a great deal of what you have written here. I do take exception though to this comment of yours about Bernie Sanders: " he spent the whole primary telling them that Hillary was a liar and a corporate tool". No he did not. I am having a hard time even thinking of an instance of Bernie accusing Hillary of being a liar, or anything close to that. It was a long campaign, there were some heated moments and no doubt you can find something that roughly matches that description, but certainly not an entire campaign of it. Regarding accusations of being a corporate tool, Bernie focused on the corrupting influence of money in politics, claiming (and I think rightly so) that corporate interests don't pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the campaign and personal coffers of political parties and politicians believing that they will gain nothing for it in return. It that were so they would stop. Bernie didn't say Hillary was corrupt, he said the system is.
