From his PBS interview. My interpretation: Most establishment Dems ran away from instead of toward progressive values and policies. They lost, the progressives won. Bernie said more diplomatically:
"But I don't think we did quite as good a job as we should have in
speaking to working families, who today are in probably worse economic
shape than any time since the Great Depression. And we did not make the
case that we're prepared to take on powerful special interests, we're
prepared to raise that minimum wage to at least 15 bucks an hour,
provide equal pay for equal work, make it easier for workers to join
unions, create millions of good-paying jobs, rebuilding our crumbling
infrastructure, making public colleges and universities tuition-free,
expanding health care to all people. So, I think we probably were
not as strong as we should have been in explaining what a progressive
economic agenda would mean to working families throughout the country."
