What are the real lessons we should learn from the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign? What lessons can be learned by examining the history and trajectory of Black political struggle? How has the terrain been fundamentally changed by the summer uprisings, and what impact will it have on the November elections?

  1. The hurtful reality is that Bernie Sanders was a major con artist. I am an African-american activist who was attracted to Sander's Democratic Socialism-lite movement and campaign. I was extremely vocal that he was promoting many (original) Black Panther ideologies that would have been extremely beneficial for African-american people too.
    I should have listened to Chris Hedges' assessment of Sanders and recognized that he was doing the same 'bowing out' skit that he has done before. The problem this time is that Sanders continued to promote that 'this movement is larger than me', yet he willingly threw the 'movement' in the trash (or the DNC camp) by bowing out and supporting "…my friend Joe". There's absolutely no way that I am voting for Biden or Trump!
    Sanders' statement that "Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in modern history" as a justification for supporting the equally insane Joe Biden is straight bullshit and definitely ignores the history of american Presidents… including Barack Obama!!!
