Bernie's campaign activated many hopeless young people towards a leftward vision of US politics. Without him our ranks would be thinner and our message and goals would be more fringe.

He is also a coward and a Zionist, but he was extremely useful. Both can be true. There is no shame in having supported a failed candidate's advocacy for working people on a national scale.

Bourgeois parties, however, should be ignored and any campaigning in elections should be as a party of labor
