I get the impression that Jeremy Corbyn (in the UK) is much better than Bernie Sanders at helping build grassroots organizations that hopefully persist without him. I heard Bernie Sanders compared with Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition, whose energy & commitment faded away after Jackson wasn't elected. Same with Ralph Nader, apparently.
- noobermin 10y agoIt is a little too early to discount Sanders. Just because the media buzz around him isn't as strong doesn't mean many still don't respect him and he doesn't have influence amongst his supporters before he endorsed Clinton.
- saboot 10y agoIt is a bit early to count him out, he has made an announcement regarding setting up persistent organizations to support progressive down ballot candidates (dem or not). Hopefully it turns into something meaningful.
