An IA town hall with Tulsi Gabbard, talking about banning private prisons, reworking the tax code for more equality (brief), legalizing cannabis, immigration centers, military demands on families.
When Clinton doners leave Harris behind, they will beckon Warren, and many already have. She is willing to take their $ after the Primaries, so she is rather hypocritical on the class war issue.
Jacqueline, do not confuse corporate Demos with progressive Democrats. Pelosi and associated will be against Bernie Sanders policies. So nobody is concerned with that, corporate Demos are becoming a minority.
The Democratic Party was not captured by corporate interests; they willfully and willingly sought their favor.
Don't understand the way TRNN is framing this, what are the two sides?
Bernie Sanders has been on the right side of history since he started in politics. From women's reproductive rights and the civil rights movement to today's movement for Healthcare for All, living wages, free public universities, etc. He's the ONLY candidate I trust.
Bernie 2020 there is much too many running for higher office and on the democratic side. We have to as a people have to learn to navigate through the noise, but I agree turnout has to be BIG‼
I am happy to here Bernie is moving to Venezuela.
They have all the Socialism he loves so much.
Enjoy your new state provided home !
I agree with Glen Ford: "The corporate Democrats’ duty is to save the oligarch’s dream of global austerity from unraveling. Terrified that Sanders might sweep the 2020 primaries, the Democratic Party bum-rushed the Vermont Senator, flooding the field with 24 candidates, outdoing the Republican establishment’s 16-candidate bid to stop Donald Trump, in 2016. The game plan was to throw every type of candidate into the mix, appealing to every “identity†constituency, to fragment a Democratic primary base that was as much as 90-percent in favor of Sanders’ campaign planks. The bottom line: prevent Sanders from arriving at the Democratic National Convention with enough delegates to win on the first ballot. On the second ballot, the corporate-dependable “super delegates†would kick in to derail the self-styled socialist." https://blackagendareport.com/ruling-class-will-not-tolerate-sanders-led-assault-austerity
If the banks wanted to plant a faux socialist into power to counter ideas of revolution, they totally wouldn't allow somebody like Trump to win first, opening the door….
Here’s Richard Wolff discussing socialism as democracy at work.

Insightful, glad I listened.
Did not know about Dr. King's occasional avowal to the acarey, dreadful s-word.
What is a right to work when machines have taken the value out of our labor? If a machine can design a machine, make the machine, have that machine plant food, water it, watch it, harvest it, wash it, package it, ship it, sell it, all with no human involvement, what is right to work? How about the right to not work. We are doing busy work, because in this system we need jobs, even if we don't need the work.
The problem is that we have two parties: a conservative party and a fascist party.
Bernie is a fake radical. He acknowledges the rotten arms of the beast, but never the head. If we were to have any chance of peace and prosperity on this planet, all debts must be forgiven; the Banks should be run by and for the Public; information and technology should be free and open source; we must have a free, transparent, digital platform for direct democracy; and the rights Bernie speaks of we would easily work out.
Bernie made a brilliant speech.. Nancy Pelosi needs to be ousted for not impeaching Trump – he is insane, needs to go now!
He is going up against forces who had Kennedy Shot, forces who start wars on lies, and forces that have brainwash the masses on who the enemies are.. He is a Brave man… among the likes of Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandella and Mahatma Ghandi
Tulsi Gabbard's platform also challenges corporate concentrations of wealth and power, and the supremacy of profit. and consistently stands up to mainstream ideology, neo-liberalism
