Very interesting NPR story on this campaign worker for " socialist "
Democrat, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. I see Bernie as basically a
New Deal Liberal but I like his boldness about " democratic socialism
". Tad Devine might confirm the Rhode Island Democratic Primary poll
which predicts for Sanders as big a victory here as he had recently in
New Hampshire ( 60 percent vs. Hillary ) .
" We're seeing younger African-American voters turn to Bernie ",says Devine. I think the neo-Democrats -like Hillary Clinton- have exhausted identity politics. Try selling " white privilege " to jobless white working class people. Trying selling " white privilege " to homeless, mentally ill white people. Way back in 1965 , Malcolm X was connecting racism with capitalism. THAT is talking " political revolution ".
