Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio.

Today represents the third installment of our Red Hot Take sub-series and today's Red

Hot Take is on the topic of what if Bernie wins?

Let's get into it.

What if Bernie wins?

A simple question, but an essential one.

Sure, most of you listening have probably thought about it to some extent,

even if those thoughts were half-formed in passing.

Some of you may, deep down, think that as long as Bernie gets into office,

things will pretty much be okay, and the alarmists on the left who scream from the

mountain tops about climate catastrophe in our lifetimes and the

machinations of imperialism are well-intentioned, if not a bit hyperbolic,

though you probably won't be admitting that on Twitter anytime soon.

Others may think that a Bernie victory would be meaningless, and for all intents and

purposes be nothing different than a Clinton or Obama presidency, and therefore not

even worth caring about in the first place.

Others still are so focused on just getting Bernie elected that they don't seem to

have taken the time to think through what happens when the proverbial dog catches the

car that it's been chasing.

If Bernie loses, of course, none of these questions will matter, and we will have a

whole other set of problematics to work through, depending on who wins the

election and what policies they plan on pursuing.
