The opposition needs to become fierce.

Only one political division matters, that between the 1% and the rest of us. 

2020 will witness the culmination of a political counter-revolution that began with the Barry Goldwater campaign and came to power with the administrations of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. If Bernie Sanders had won, he would have faced a corporate-dominated congress that would have resisted his every policy move. For real change to have happened, a people's movement of enormous scope and power would need to have been organized. 

Not much is changed by his loss. We still need to build people-power from the ground up. We still need to create or restore institutions that represent the majority -- labor unions, community groups, co-op businesses and services, independent parties, international alliances.
