    Jeet Heer Retweeted Van Jackson

    One of the most important things Bernie can do right now is to elevate his critique of the foreign policy consensus as he has his views on domestic politics. He has the credentials to do it too since he was rightly critical of the neo-liberal embrace of Chinese authoritarianismhttps://twitter.com/WonkVJ/status/1405686899402891267 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Parsing Bernie's piece on China carefully, there's not one thing in it that's incorrect. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2021-06-17/washingtons-dangerous-new-consensus-china …

        I'll read it, but any such critiques will fail because China at the moment is making every possible action to justify opposing it, even if that means having to ally with Washington to do so.

        Ehh the best thing he and progressives in the House could do right now is register as Greens and take over the party.

        Except he doesn't have any useful intervention apart from that skepticism, just a series of policies that would be good ideas with or without competition with china.

        Sanders gets a lot wrong here. but the overall point is roughly correct

        Yeah agreed. Sanders changed the debate on several domestic issues, and now is his moment on foreign policy. Don't cede the issue of China to the right.
