If it wasn’t for Bernie Sanders’s 2016 campaign, many on the Left would still be spinning their wheels rehashing the same debates about whether it is possible to engage with the Democratic Party as socialists.
How Bernie’s Campaigns Reorganized the Organized Left
A decade after Bernie Sanders’s first presidential run, intraleft debates about whether to engage with the Democrats are largely settled. That campaign taught US socialists much about how — and how not — to build a powerful socialist movement.
