Democratic Party

Letter from the US: Bernie Sanders鈥 Democratic Party strategy is fatally flawed

In a New York Times op-ed in June titled 鈥淗ow Democrats Can Stop Losing鈥, Bernie Sanders slammed the Democratic Party.

鈥淚n 2016 the Democratic Party lost the presidency to possibly the least popular candidate in American history,鈥 he wrote. 鈥淚n recent years, Democrats have also lost the Senate and House to right-wing Republicans whose extremist agenda is far removed from where most Americans are politically.

The kids are alright: Millennial politics, democratic socialism and Bernie Sanders

Across the US young people are pouring into the polling booths. The contest is not the Presidential election 鈥 that is still some months away. Instead they are lining up to vote in the primaries for the Democratic Party. In particular they are turning up to vote for an old Jewish radical from New York.
