I feel like he could've been a little more explicit, his advice is pretty generic.

Like c'mon Bernie, it's time to start publicly advocating for mutual aid, for strikes, for coops, for building structures that are outside of the political system. Give people some details to latch onto!

Prof. Timothy Snyder's books "On Tyranny" and "On Freedom" provide some ideas. The first one might be more relevant now that trump won, but second one talks about how oligarchs are stealing wealth from us and how they now use technology for their advantage including social media.

There are also interviews on YouTube with him.

Edit: apparently he also has a substack: https://snyder.substack.com/
