An old article on Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 by one Mfanya D. Tryman illuminates Bernie Sanders ' " political revolution " in 2016 and 2020 :
The writer " developed the thesis " that Jackson's 1984 and 1988 campaigns " were essentially those of a third party candidate attempting to gain legitimacy inside the Democratic Party ".
Today " socialist " Bernie Sanders has clearly crossed a line of " Left tolerance " within the Democratic Party. He and Senator Elizabeth Warren can snatch ULTIMATE victory from the jaws of defeat by calling for the formation of a " Progressive American Party " based on the American working class and the " free falling " lower middle class - much like the British Labor Party.
Presently the Democratic Party can be compared to an unstable U-235 nucleus . All it needs is a few " slow neutrons " to blow it apart.
The red baiting of Bernie Sanders is shameless . But what can you expect of the Democratic Party promoting the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism ? Ironically, the Kafkaesque Trump impeachment hearings must have reminded many old fashioned Democratic " liberals " of the infamous Moscow Trials .
Perhaps Bernie Sanders gentle " democratic socialism " is no match for the new Stalinism of the Neo-Liberal Democrats ?
Does this pseudo-Left ever champion the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization ? Or even freedom of religion ? ( YOU , Senator Chuck Schumer ! ) .
Let us see how the equally senile mainstream news media in the United States tries to sell " Sleepy Joe " Biden to the American voters in 2020 election. What was the 2016 presidential campaign all about but collective disgust with the ESTABLISHMENT ? Love for the status quo in 2016 attracted the big energized crowds for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders ? All that remains for a complete theater of Absurd Politics is for " Sleepy Joe " to name " Wall St. Hillary " as his running mate with " Great Expectations " for Hillary Clinton.
