Not me but also I was older and I had a decent idea about what elections were useful for, as a revolutionary. I think we all forget that electorialism might not work but these campaigns and movements come with a wave of radicalisation. The point is to ensure that every time, when the succdems get ratfucked or betray us or come up against the iron wall of capital we scoop up the next group of leftists and give them somewhere to shelter until the next wave.

Not to say that reforms and social gains aren't nice to have, or that Bernie winning wouldn't have been fun, but the goal is revolution. We should be coming back stronger every time, and frankly I think we're doing a pretty good job of that in the long run, given where we were in the 1990s.
