Preaching to the converted, really. Very little that Bernie Sanders says that I don't wholeheartedly agree with, although it was a shock to find him quoting Yvette Cooper positively. Interesting to see the comparison to the UK, where just like the Democrats, the Labour Party has moved from being a party of the working people to being a party of career politicians working for corporate sponsors, and with an increasingly middle-class and well-off membership. Can't see that changing any time soon, but it was so refreshing to hear from a politician that always supports striking workers, is prepared to point out the massive inequality in our societies for what it is and ask why policies that are popular and beneficial to the many are not enacted and opposed by the media, the establishment and all mainstream political parties.
