Bernie's Loss and the State of the Left

It discusses the absence of a strong left political movement in the country and the optimism surrounding grassroots efforts in the labor movement. The chapter also touches upon the lack of accountability of the US government and its support for Israel's actions, as well as the potential influence of a large trade union movement on foreign policy.
