Truly bizarre how they treat the Bernie voters as some weird other and not the overwhelming majority of the youth and Latino vote.

I mean, the logic of the OP is all scrambled in order to hit their talking point, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that the growing militancy of the rank and file in teachers unions will be more influential, on ed policy, than Bernie Sanders’ unsuccessful presidential campaigns.
As much as Sanders mobilized a segment of young people and workers, he didn’t build a political alternative, a free-standing organization, to preserve that mobilization. He fell in line with the Democratic Party, and endorsed the right wing of that party.
I don't know if that's true. There is more Leftist Media, Leftist Indie Activism, and Leftist Electioneering than at any time I've seen since Clinton.
It's not the rebirth of the IWW. But it's far more substantive and enduring than OWS was.
