The Left Doesn’t Have the Luxury of Giving Up.
There’s too much at stake to end the fight.
No matter what happens with Bernie Sanders’ campaign it is clear, especially considering the events that have transpired over the past days, that the left simply does not have the luxury of giving up.
In the face of a global pandemic, a stock market crash the likes of which we haven’t seen in over thirty years, and a planet on the brink of climate catastrophe, we have absolutely no choice but to continue the fight for a more just and equitable society. We are witnessing firsthand the disastrous effects of what America’s long-standing economic and healthcare policies have led to, in what certainly at least feels like the last death rattles of a dying empire that has existed for far too long. The very same corporatist Democrats who have railed against President Trump for not allowing the expansion of Medicaid during this pandemic are the same ones who actively fought against Medicare for All in the years since it has become mainstream, and that will not be ignored. As uncomfortable as that may be for some to admit, they are proving they are as much if not more of a threat to the advancement of leftist policies as their Republican counterparts.
