"Sanders doesn’t have to win to achieve success. The potential here is to
build an organizing apparatus for the ideas, to construct a coalition
that supports a generous social safety net, progressive taxation and
protection for labor. The Democratic Party once reflected some of that,
but has drifted. Only a broad base from the streets can drag them back
to that New Deal/Great Society position again, or at least make them
afraid enough to toe the line." David Dayen @ddayen
