The Sanders campaign is the kernel of an ambitious ideological project that has gotten people fired up and offered them a comprehensive worldview and narrative of transformational societal change. That's just not true for a Buttigieg, or Warren, or Biden

Anyway, when they think the fate of the Universe is at stake, people get spicy online. It sucks, especially on a medium like this that rewards strife, but I don't think it reflects at some rot deep within the Sanders campaign, let alone the candidate himself

The thing to judge Sanders on personally is if he will be able to take this movement and grow it into an electoral majority, a ruling majority, and ultimately a unifying national vision that transcends faction. But building a movement is an impressive start.

I encourage anyone who can to go to a Bernie rally (or a Trump rally, for that matter!) and compare the feeling to other political events. This is not to paint a false equivalence between Trump and Sanders, but to stress that a movement is a powerful force in American politics.
