Every politician I've seen seems obsessed with past. Maybe the Obama past. Maybe the Reagan past. Maybe LBJ and FDR. Maybe Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.
I haven't found anyone interested in talking about the future, except maybe those weird AI obsessed dorks who insist humanity won't be around in another generation or three.

Sanders was forward looking during the primary. But he collapsed back into defensive, borderline reactionary "this is the best we can do" during the general.
referring to 2020? to be fair, the economic plan concessions he got from biden were significant and meaningful, if not ideal. really hard to push for everything when all sides are actively ratfucking you.
I will agree that he tried to hold onto those biden agreements too hard prior to the 2024 biden collapse - but, again, the DNC is pure toxic waste and his back room commitments came due.
