Let me know when he expresses any intent about decreasing US militarism/imperialism.
I hope the Overton window shifts that far to the left some day.
It's actually already there.
Ending US wars is like universal healthcare. Sadly, this is one of those things where the mainstream public consensus is overwhelmingly on our side.
Which is really scary. This isn't a challenge of shifting the Overton window. It's one of figuring out how to translate the will of the people into government action in what is supposed to be a democracy. 'Cause we already won public opinion, and it turns out that's not where the sticking point is.
The reality all leftists/socialists must confront is that the only way forward might require the window to be broken.
