Comparing the McGovern campaign to the Bernie Sanders campaign

For many years, the progressive movement used the Democratic Party to run for various political offices. Bobby Seale of the Black Panther Party ran for the office of mayor in Oakland California in 1973. He lost the election by a small margin. Tom Hayden (formerly of Students for a Democratic Society S.D.S) ran for senator in California in 1976. He also lost by a small margin. After, the election, he started a movement called: Campaign for Economic Democracy. Now we got the Bernie Sanders campaign.
It will be no surprise that Bernie Sanders will lose by a small margin. What will happen after the presidential election? Will Bernie Sanders like tom Hayden start a new progressive movement? In my latest article, I recount the McGovern campaign in 1972.
