This 21 June 2017 video from the USA says about itself:
Bernie Sanders to Democrats: Jeremy Corbyn Taught Us a Lesson—Learn It!
21 June 2017
In an op-ed for The New York Times, Bernie Sanders told Democrats how they can start winning elections again. Basically, he implored them to learn the lesson Jeremy Corbyn recently taught us. The establishment doubted Jeremy Corbyn,
They not just doubted. They smeared.
but he showed the world that progressives are able to galvanize younger voters to come out and vote. If Democrats want to end their losing spree, they need to channel progressivism and move towards the left—not the center.

There was one additional factor in the Democratic losses, admitted by one prominent office-holder, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who backed Hillary Clinton in the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination last year. Speaking on MSNBC, Murphy said that the single-minded focus on investigating alleged connections between the Trump campaign and Russia had become a “distraction” to mounting effective election campaigns.
“Democrats have to be hyper-focused on an economic message that tells people that the Republican Party is all about economic growth for millionaires and billionaires and the Democratic Party is about economic growth for everybody,” he said. “The fact that we have spent so much time talking about Russia, you know, has been a distraction from what should be the clear contrast between Democrats and the Trump agenda, which is on economics.”

Dear Friends and Activists,
We’d be the first ones to tell you that so-called Obamacare, now
widely recognized to have cost the Democrats their majorities in
Congress, and ultimately the White House, was a bad bill.
In fact we were. We spoke out against it bitterly even as it was
being passed over our vociferous objections that single payer was the
only real health care solution. And that remains our progressive
policy goal.
But in the meantime, the last way to fix our problems is to make them
dramatically worse, which is what the Republican are trying to find
some way to do, unless we stop them by the force of our amassed
voices.
We say junk the Republican health care killer bill, and pass single
payer Medicare for All instead. Submit this action page again now,
even if you had already done so, and we’ll send a fresh barrage of
direct action faxes.
Medicare For All action page:

And here is the simplified version of the action page if your browser
has any technical issues.

We were promised a nail biter in GA. Turned out to be not even really
close. We heard John Ossoff on TV a couple times. Seemed likeable and
articulate enough.
But we’ll tell you what we did not hear. We did not hear him on the
attack.
They sure attacked him, like with some actor standing in front of
Golden Gate Bridge talking about, “Here in San Francisco we love how
Ossoff is going to raise your taxes,” and a truly despicable election
eve ad claiming that liberals “endorsed and applauded” attempted mass
murder of congressional Republicans, as phantom as Trump’s
celebrating Muslims in NJ seen by him on TV on 9/11. We heard no such
thing like that either, outside of this one ad.
It’s not as if we don’t have stuff to attack, from the attempted
murder of our health care system, such as it is, to the out of
control criminality of the White House resident. Republicans demand
scalps at the drop of a teabag. What are we . . . all just namby
pambies?
And the other thing we did not hear from Ossoff, at least when he was
squandering his best opportunities on TV to broadcast a message, was
any strong position on what we SHOULD be doing as a country, just a
bunch of “I want to reach across the aisle to work with the other
side.” Oh, really? On what?
Seriously, they spent 25 million dollars on a guy apparently
incapable of either a strong attack or a strong position on anything?
The Democratic party beat us over the head like never before to cough
up contributions. More money was spent on this race than any other
House election in history, by a mile, and for what . . . to not
actually take a visible stand on ANYTHING???
Perhaps Ossoff will run again in 2018, by which time his opponent
will have a record of bad votes. And maybe he’ll have the good sense
to move back the couple miles to live in his own district again, so
they can’t beat him up over that. And if he does, we hope he gets a
strong shot of catch fire in his belly.
By then there will be even more to attack. By then strong advocacy on
policy will be even more important.
If the Democratic party platform in 2018 is to tinker around the
edges of the structural disaster called Obamacare, even as it is
being sabotaged in every way by Trump and the Republicans, it will
be, if not a losing message, a recipe for minimal gains.
Demand single payer, demand it now, make your voice heard (see action
page above).
And we will not hesitate for a nanosecond to attack Trump and the
Republicans politicians about everything they DESERVE to be attacked
about, at every opportunity, and we keep doing it relentlessly.
And why? Because we need to be more concerned about firing up and
motivating OUR base than worrying about someone on the “other” side
being offended by the truth.
We advocate what we are FOR. We attack what we are AGAINST. Both must
be strong.
Our new “Lock Him Up/Impeach Trump” popcorn boxes have now gone to

TORIES should seek to emulate the Labour left, Michael Gove said this weekend.
The controversial Environment Secretary told the Kings Place Politics Festival that pro-Corbyn group Momentum had “brought lots of enthusiastic young people into politics” and “helped change the culture of the Labour Party.”
He said he did not “endorse all the principles” of the group, but believed Conservatives could “learn something” from their success in getting thousands of people newly involved in politics.
Mr Gove added: “The attitude … of many Conservative associations to a young person saying: ‘I want to get involved’ is to say: ‘Here are some leaflets to deliver’.
“You think: ‘I joined the Conservatives for political ideas, if I wanted to be a postman, I’d have … gone down that route.’
“And so we have to think hard about how we provide a space and opportunity for people who are interested in political ideas.”
Momentum founder Jon Lansman welcomed Mr Gove’s admission that the grassroots campaign has been a positive development for politics in Britain as a whole.
But Mr Lansman warned Labour had only been able to harness this enthusiasm because it had offered “bold policies” of the left, which he suggested the Conservatives could not do.
Momentum was founded by Mr Lansman and others as a new force to bring together various currents of the Labour left. It has faced vitriol from some Labour MPs concerned that new pro-Corbyn members will seek to de-select them as parliamentary candidates.
Mr Gove noted the rise of left populism across the world.
He said: “I expect if Bernie Sanders had been the Democrat nominee [for US president] he’d probably have beaten Donald Trump.”
