This is the Nation Magazine effusing over the Brand New Congress program
that supposedly is the next step of the Sanders "political revolution".
Mark Lause took this apart on the North Star website

What’s new—and what distinguishes BNC from efforts like the Working
Families Party, or from the Sanders-led Our Revolution—is the group’s
commitment to finding progressive Republicans to run in red states and
districts. “That probably makes working with us a nonstarter for Our
Revolution,” says Trent.
“In Tennessee, the candidates would be mostly Republicans,” Mayes adds.
What about the platform? “They’d be running on Bernie’s platform—plus a
bigger-scale jobs program,” she says. Including abortion and gay rights?
“Non-negotiable,” she replies.
