This sends off all kind of alarm bells, right? The NYT giving the Sanders campaign advice? Through a new staff writer who is to all appearances a genuine supporter?https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1220688705473695745 …

The same thing is happening here that happened to Corbyn; a political "revolution" using an old left socialist as a figurehead while rapidly entrenching middle class power within the left. There's no worker militancy to speak of right now. Middle class militancy, though...?
There's still an ownership class, though, and they're starting to wonder if the middle class is really serving them right now.

That realignment is definitely coming, but it won't come from the left. Once Sanders is gone, that's it as far as left social democracy goes. The others have already failed or turned towards the middle class (or both). It'll be the right that grabs this opportunity first.

The left running and screaming about Boris Johnson's 10.000 years of austerity was so incredibly tone-deaf and self-defeating because he represents exactly the kind of no-principles politician that is capable of building a new coalition between workers and owners.
