Progressive populism needs an inspiring leader

Rising responds to a question about what a progressive populist response to the pandemic would look like. Krystal notes it is not inevitable, given we the people have been so beaten down prior to the pandemic with a corrupt economic system. Add the pandemic on top of it and she doubts we have the will to fight back. Saager though notes that if we had the right leader who could inspire and organize us we'd have a chance.

Thing is, we had that leader in Bernie and the system once again cut him down. But Bernie hasn't gone away; he's still out there fighting for us. As usual he just doesn't get corporate press. It's up to us to scour progressive press and share widely what he, the Squad and the Congressional Progressive Caucus are up to so we can retain our hope and our drive to support them and other progressives in this long, hard war to return this country to we the people.
