Here Senator Bernie Sanders sounds like the " socialist " Democrat I voted for in the Rhode Island Democratic primary last April. The voice of the state's working class was heard when Bernie's " political revolution " humiliated the Hillary Clinton machine.

 Working class " deplorables " knew in their hearts that Hillary's effete " identity politics " would do nothing for them as a CLASS.

It was clear that neo-liberals in the Democratic Party transformed the party from what it was or was so perceived as the party of labor in the era of FDR's New Deal.

I suspect the Democratic Party is now beyond dramatic transformation. The " honest " voice of socialism ( like Poe's " William Wilson " ) might advise Bernie Sanders to help create the American equivalent of the British Labor Party - with more " class struggle " backbone.

It is a slander on the white American working class that it votes along racial lines.
