Heideman has joined the Seth Ackerman - Eric Blanc Lovin' Spoonful camarilla "Do You Believe in Magic?" In this article there's hagiography of Bernie Sanders: Heideman: "...the 'concessions' that Bernie’s campaign has already won, by mobilizing millions of young, working-class, oppressed people into political activity, and shifting wholesale the national discussion. Previously fringe social-democratic policies, like Medicare for All and free public college education, now have majority support." Is Heideman actually ignorant of the fact that there was majority support for national single-payer healthcare when the Clintons took office? And ever since. Refusal to face reality: "Now after the dust has settled, we need to face the fact that Sanders was more decisively defeated this time than in 2016. Sanders never won more than 30 percent of the Democratic primary voters. His victories came because the establishment vote was split. He consistently failed to win over older Black voters, or turn out new, young voters."
