We really need to start developing ways to primary the hell out of any of the democrats in Washington who continue to do nothing, or rather who are actively being passive because all they care about is the rich donor money. If they started feeling the heat from the chance they could lose their position to a challenger they’d start to change their tune.

Bernie is right; politics needs to focus on the socioeconomic ("tangible") difference for the people. Generating income for the people is what's important.

Could have had two terms of this guy now
Thats because he is an antifascists while most Democrats are not.
It's just SSDD for Bernie
People like AOC and Sanders that are going around to different states and online, explaining to people how to stand up and resist, how to say: "this is not normal, but it is also not the time to feel helpless and defeated", should be emulated by the entire Democratic party.
AOC is definitely doing what you've said. But while some of what Sanders is doing is that, I think the important difference is that he's actually going around to people who have historically disagreed with him and saying, "This is how the people you voted for are betraying that vote. We need to work together to stop them." We need both from the DNC, especially depending on their constituents.
