SPECIAL ANALYSIS: For all his remarkable accomplishments, #Sanders ’ legacy in 2020 will likely be that of 2016, which was to be the sheepdog that herded progressives into the #DemocraticParty and got nothing in return.

#Sanders didn’t politically critique the #Obama/#Biden2020 record, hamstrung by his determination not to harm the Democratic Party. Unlike #Trump in 2016, who savaged the Republican establishment and won, Sanders pulled his punches and lost.

Sanders arguably could have beaten #Trump but not the #DNC. He would have beaten his Democratic rivals and gone on to defeat the incumbent president if what passes for the “liberal” establishment (e.g., the @SpeakerPelosi and Schumer) didn’t sabotage him.

Sanders is a social democrat; supports the rule of the owners of capital with workers as junior partners. He made clear, “I don’t believe government should own the means of production.” What he wants is a nice #capitalism that shares its crumbs with those who create the #wealth.

Nor is he an anti-imperialist, despite his statement that “it might be a good idea to be honest about #American foreign policy and that includes the fact that #America has overthrown governments all over the world.

Sanders endorses the bipartisan consensus to overthrow the “vicious dictator” (his words) in #Venezuela. Sanders yearns for a nice imperialism, which somehow avoids messy excesses while not challenging #US hegemony.
