Mamdani Will Follow The Path Of AOC, Bernie, And Brandon Johnson

November 13, 2025 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Bernie Sanders, Democrats, Liberal class, Zohran Mamdani

The disenfranchised, cast aside people of the US find hope when an AOC, Brandon Johnson, Mamdani and Bernie Sanders campaigns and wins public office. These campaigns overcame corporate backed opponents, relying on people power not corporate financing, organizing many thousands of our fellow working people to participate. Yet, possessing public office does not change the economic and class structure of this country, where the real ruling power lies. Our country’s system, on the local, state, and national level, is a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.

Tell Lies, Claim Easy Victories

November 9, 2025 Calla Mairead Walsh, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Democratic Party, DSA, New York (NY), New York City (NYC), NYPD, Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani’s victory was historic. So was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s. So was Barack Obama’s. The blissful ignorance in response to Mamdani’s victory demonstrates a vast, abysmal void in revolutionary consciousness, organization, and leadership in the so-called United States. It speaks to our collective hunger for any supposed victory to grasp onto, no matter how illusory, a hunger to make ourselves feel like we have achieved something, anything, satiating our guilty selves with false hope. No matter how much he spits on the name of the Palestinian resistance, Mamdani obviously won because of the political ramifications of the Al-Aqsa Flood.

Exposing The Bernie/AOC ‘Fight Oligarchy’ Tour De Farce

April 25, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), Bernie Sanders, Democrats, Misleaders

On April 30, 2015, Senator Bernie Sanders, with little to no fanfare and less than 10 media outlets in attendance, announced his intention to seek the presidential nomination of the Democrat Party. The setting, a small enclave near the U.S. capitol building, could not have been less banal - yet what followed certainly took the nation and the Democrat Party by surprise as his candidacy emerged into an undeniable force that jockeyed the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and their preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton, so much that the party resorted to malfeasance and corruption so blatant it forced them to quarantine then DNC chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, during the 2016 convention in Philadelphia.

Bernie And AOC Sheepdog For The Democrats

March 29, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), Bernie Sanders, Democrats, Sheepdogging

“Bernie Sanders is this election's Democratic sheepdog. The sheepdog is a card the Democratic party plays every presidential primary season when there's no White House Democrat running for re-election.” Bruce Dixon The late Bruce Dixon, Black Agenda Report co-founder and Managing Editor, is credited with coining the term “sheepdog” to describe Vermont senator Bernie Sanders when he challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. Dixon was correct and prescient. Sanders lost the nomination to Clinton and as promised, endorsed her anyway.

For The First Time, Congress Will Vote On Blocking Weapons To Israel

October 3, 2024 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. Resist! Bernie Sanders, Israel, Palestine, Uncommitted Votes, US Congress, Weapons Embargo

Last week Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) announced that he had introduced legislation to block a $20 billion arms sale to Israel. The Joint Resolutions of Disapproval would prevent the delivery of offensive weapons that the State Department approved in August, just days before ceasefire talks were set to resume. The package includes fighter jets and advanced air-to-air missiles. “Sadly, and illegally, much of the carnage in Gaza has been carried out with U.S.-provided military equipment,” said Sanders in a statement. “Providing more offensive weapons to continue this disastrous war would violate U.S. and international law.

Bernie And The Squad Cut A Deal To Save Biden

July 21, 2024 Jason Koslowski, Left Voice. Strategize! Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), Bernie Sanders, Democratic Party, Elections, Genocide, Ilhan Omar, Israel, Joe Biden, Palestine, The Squad

Bernie Sanders, with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), Ilhan Omar, and others in the left wing of the Democratic Party are lining up to try to save Joe Biden’s crisis-ridden campaign — a campaign for a deeply unpopular millionaire whose main legacy will be supporting a genocide in Palestine. That might seem shocking. The leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — and of Jacobin — have made supporting Bernie and the Squad the tentpole of their strategy since the Sanders phenomenon started. Those electeds were supposed to be the left wing of the Democratic Party, moles inside the Party working against the grain to drive radical politics.

Norman Finkelstein Responds To Bernie Sanders

November 7, 2023 Dr. Norman Finkelstein, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Bernie Sanders, Ceasefire, Hamas, Israel, Palestine, Wars and Militarism

Norman Finkelstein responds to Bernie Sanders’ statement in a recent interview on CNN where he openly opposed a ceasefire in Gaza using the justification that Hamas is causing chaos in Israel and saying that “Hamas has got to.” Finkelstein answers with: “I was so furious at that remark of Bernie’s when he said he opposed the ceasefire and my innards started to writhe and I decided I had to respond. Bernie said in the interview that he opposed a ceasefire and his grounds for opposing a ceasefire were that Hamas wanted to destroy Israel and therefore Hamas has to be destroyed. So let’s look at the facts. I am going to start with 2006."

Activists Arrested At A Sit-In For Peace At Senator Bernie Sanders’ Office

October 6, 2023 CODEPINK - Women for Peace. Resist! Bernie Sanders, Peace, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Washington, D.C. - A group of 50 activists and Vermont constituents staged a sit-in inside Senator Bernie Sanders' office on Wednesday, demanding the senator to call for peace and diplomacy in Ukraine instead of more weapons and war. The sit-in resulted in the arrest of 11 activists, including an 89-year-old CODEPINK peace activist. The group was joined by Green Party Presidential Candidate Dr. Cornel West in the Senate lobby for a prayer vigil before the sit-in. The prayer vigil and sit-in were part of a week of action that included an antiwar rally on Tuesday night featuring Dr. West, Claudia de la Cruz, Lee Camp, Medea Benjamin, and Eugene Puryear,.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Sheepdogging And Liberal Fantasy

June 1, 2023 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Bernie Sanders, Democrats, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sheepdogging

In 2015, Black Agenda Report co-founder Bruce Dixon coined the term “sheepdog” to describe the role that Bernie Sanders would play in the 2016 presidential campaign. Dixon presciently said, “Bernie's job is to warm up the crowd for Hillary, herding activist energies and the disaffected left back into the Democratic fold one more time. Bernie aims to tie up activist energies and resources till the summer of 2016 when the only remaining choice will be the usual lesser of two evils.” The word stuck and since that time the question is rightly asked whether a particular democratic challenger is serious about getting the nomination or is merely a sheepdog who will herd supporters back into the hands of their party’s oligarchy.

Sanders Withdraws Yemen War Powers Resolution Vote Over Biden Opposition

December 15, 2022 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. Educate! Bernie Sanders, Biden administration, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Tuesday night withdrew his request to vote on the Yemen War Powers Resolution that would end US support for the Saudi-led war and blockade on Yemen, citing White House opposition to the bill. Sanders said on the Senate floor that he was informed ahead of the scheduled vote of the administration’s opposition to the legislation, meaning President Biden would veto the resolution. The Intercept reported earlier in the day that The White House was pressuring senators to vote against the bill, and Democrats came out in opposition to Sanders’ resolution earlier on Tuesday, including Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA). Sanders’ justification for not holding the vote was that the administration claimed it would work with Congress on ending the war in Yemen.

Hey, Bernie, Make It A Real Single Payer Bill…No Profits

April 26, 2022 Kay Tillow, Counter Punch. Educate! Bernie Sanders, Health Care, Medicare for all

Senator Bernie Sanders has announced that he is going to introduce his Medicare for All bill in the Senate—and hold a hearing. This is most welcome news. As Bernie campaigned for the presidency, he elevated national single payer health care, an improved Medicare for All, into the public spotlight and onto the nation’s agenda. His advocacy for Medicare for All informed millions and lifted spirits building hope that a universal single payer plan is possible in the US. He has not done that well at writing legislation. His most recent bill, the Medicare for All Act of 2019 (S. 1129), falls short of essential single payer principles and lets stand billions in profits that will undermine care and steal public funds.

Toward A Revolutionary Left Framework On An Age-Old Debate

January 29, 2021 Danny Haiphong, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Bernie Sanders, Class war, Racism, White Supremacy

Activists in the U.S. have debated race and class for decades to no resolution. Nonetheless, in this moment of U.S. imperial decay and crisis, the debate over whether race or class takes precedence in the struggle for liberation from U.S. capitalist and imperialist domination rages on. Two prominent strands of the debate have emerged over the last year which intersect with the rise of Bernie Sanders-led “democratic socialists” and the uprising against racist policing led by the slogan “Black Lives Matter.” For many leaders of the Sanders camp, white supremacy is either a distraction or a secondary issue that can be addressed through the amelioration of class exploitation vis-à-vis policies such as Medicare for All.

Scheer Intelligence: For Many Young People, Socialism Is As American As Apple Pie

June 26, 2020 Robert Scheer, ScheerPost.com. Educate! Bernie Sanders, Democratic Socialism, Podcast, Youth

In the devastating aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, many young Americans who felt betrayed by capitalism were introduced to socialism by Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns. Meagan Day, a staff writer for the popular left-wing magazine Jacobin and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), serves as an example of how the Vermont senator radicalized a generation with a platform that called for policies like Medicare for All and tuition-free college. Day credits Sanders with her decision to choose socialism when she felt the time came to “pick a side” in American politics and has since been working to understand how the socialist resurgence the Democratic candidate inspired can grow without him in the White House.

The End Of Sanders, And Maybe The Beginning Of A Mass Independent Left

April 18, 2020 Glen Ford, Black Agenda Report. Organize! Bernie Sanders, Corporate duopoly, Electoral Politics, Independence

The COVID-19 epidemic has exposed the privatized US healthcare structure’s woeful incapacity to cope with a general health emergency, as well as the failings of Europe’s austerity-shrunken public health care systems. Although Donald Trump’s actions, inactions and idiotic blatherings have added immeasurably to the death toll, a major medical and economic catastrophe was inevitable once the virus was loosed on a defenseless U.S. public. Trump didn’t create the conditions that made the United States so vulnerable to a killer virus. That’s one of the many crimes of capitalism, which at its late stage is methodically starving what’s left of the public sphere and privatizing every conceivable human enterprise for the ultimate benefit of the Lords of Capital – the ruling oligarchy.

Bernie Sanders Tests the Limits Of The US Political System

April 16, 2020 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance Educate! 2020 Elections, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden

That Sanders was once the frontrunner and might have swept the Democratic primaries is an indicator of the neoliberal order’s decay. The coronavirus pandemic was both the final blow to the Sanders campaign and the world-historic event that proved unquestionably that his platform of universal health care and fairness to the working class was the medicine needed for an ailing nation. Shelter-in-place is Biden’s strong suit, while Sanders’ contagious ability to enthuse the youth was sequestered. And, no, Biden’s healthcare public option is not even a baby step towards universal health care. Sanders’ parting remark on April 8 was “we have won the ideological battle.” Of course, ideas don’t have agency on their own. The battle is to organize a progressive constituency and not self-defeat by tethering to the Democratic Party.
