Economic issues that Sanders was successfully campaigning on in 2016 when he was thwarted in the primary. It’s not important to fight over what happened that year, but his platform is 100% the way forward to progress.
I thought Walz was a great pick for that reason. He seemed like he could appeal to that group. But then they kind of hid him to get Republicans instead, and tried to make him more like them instead of being more like him (they stopped using the “weird” thing so they wouldn’t alienate Republicans, for example). Now that I think about it, if he can be encouraged to follow what I think are his mostly good, progressive instincts (except for the time he called the military on protestors), he might be a good, new central leader in this movement in the future.
