Bernie Sanders has failed to win the nomination of the Democratic Party once again. The 78 year-old presidential candidate dropped out a few weeks ago after not seeing a path to winning the Democratic nomination. A self-described "Democratic Socialist", Bernie Sanders has received much love from the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) and other progressive organizations. He has received much hate as well from his opposition with Republicans calling him a "communist" and Democrats believing he's "too radical".
Bernie wants to implement a Green New Deal, free healthcare, tuition-free college, and many other progressive policies. Compared to Joe Biden, Bernie puts a lot more on the table, and while this is a step towards the right direction, it is not the answer.
His policies are mostly great, but Bernie continues to compromise with the capitalists. Maybe there is no other choice for him as he is 78, but Bernie pushes reform and reforms aren't enough to fix the United States. Even if Bernie is elected president he wouldn't be able to get anything through the liberal democratic framework.
Bernie inspired many, but it is time that we let the end of Bernie's campaign to radicalize all the social democrats and democratic socialists. No more compromising with the capitalists.
