Hot takes on the Democratic frontrunners

Another person agreeing with something that Bernie Sanders has been saying all along, e.g. Trump's appeal was economic populism; "Some people think that the people who voted for Trump are racists and sexists and homophobes and deplorable folks. I don't agree..."

Love him or hate him, everything that the Democrats are doing (that has any appeal to anybody besides diehard party loyalists), is based on Bernie's 2016 platform. People say Bernie "isn't as Progressive" as he used to be-- well DUH, it's "not Progressive" anymore because EVERYBODY'S DOING IT now.

He's transformed politics. When he lost the Primary in 2016 it was like killing Obi-Wan Kenobi.
