The release of the document may not be the full political revolution backers of Bernie Sanders are looking for, but its evidence that the insurgent campaign is continuing to influence the process and nudge it in a more democratic direction.
The platform itself included significant progressive advances, including a $15 minimum wage, $3 an hour more than Clinton had previously backed; a ban on the death penalty; a financial transaction tax; a public health insurance option; expanded Social Security benefits; a modern version of Glass-Steagall, which seeks to take risk out of the financial system by segregating activity; and big wins for reproductive freedom.
