Don't get me wrong, I certainly think Bernie is a net gain for U.S. politics. My main political goal is anti-corruption.

And there's been plenty that's worked. Our numbers are proving it, going into the dem party as candidates on local, state, & national levels. We work towards The Issues, esp. Single Payer/Medicare For All, & finance reform. We're lobbying both sides of the aisle on The Hill & have solidified our Ground.

My opinion is that if you don't get rid of the corruption, getting good political policy is extremely difficult. Not that you should give up on the second, but I prioritize the first.

As I said, I don't think Bernie has particularly strongly called out the Democrats in any strong and specific way in the past year. Without strong pressure, the corporate democrats will do everything they can to resist change. A bottom-up strategy is absolutely better than nothing, but may be very slow and difficult. Then again, overthrowing the top certainly isn't simple either.

If Bernie has strongly called out specific Democrats and their actions in recent memory and I've simply missed it, I'd be happy if you could point me in the right direction.

In any case, thanks for your response.
