My biggest thought sitting here as Sanders drops out of his second presidential race is that he& #39;ll be an important historical figure going forward on the left, but that his greatest influence will ultimately prove to be his making "political revolution" a colloquialism 1/

And what I mean by that is mostly, Sanders will likely come to be known as a person that a younger generation of liberals could springboard off of. A sort of Goldwater of the left. I wrote about this last year. 2/ https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-young-lefts-anti-capitalist-manifesto/">https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...

Warren was obviously doing her Warren thing back in 2011/2012 when she was running for Senate and she had that viral living room video about taxing the rich. She& #39;ll also be a figure of importance on the left going forward. 3/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htX2usfqMEs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

But I do think Sanders gets credit for the communication style of cult of political personality he built. That stuff is powerful. 4/4
