62. The disaffected Left is a school of fish.

It went from Warren to Sanders overnight. What I mean by "catch up" is to actually establish a political network of like-minded individuals to begin farming a team. You need a legislative strategy from the ground up.

Jan Schakowski is just as "Progressive" as Bernie Sanders. Sherrod Brown is just as "Progressive" as Bernie Sanders. Russ Feingold is just as "Progressive" as Bernie Sanders. And they have been DEMOCRATS their entire careers.

Bernie Sanders is not going to build an overnight legislative base from radio show listeners via Instagram and Twitter. He is only relevant as a Democrat, and can only promote his values via the Democratic Caucus. Preaching is not leading.
