Why Bernie Sanders Matters
Missionary. Radical. Hippy. Revolutionary. Red Mayor. Pragmatist. Socialist. Hot from the campaign trail, a vivid new biography that goes inside Bernie Sandersas contradictions, his unusual life, and his electrifying quest to make the American dream a reality for all. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders may be the least political person in politicsaa brusque, unpolished, Jewish Socialist from Brooklyn with deep-seated convictions and distaste for small talk. He is also, at seventy-four, the rising star of the Democratic party, whose underdog bid for the presidential nomination has hit the marks of a serious contender: Heas competitive with, and in some cases leading, Hillary Clinton in early state polls. Heas closed the fundraising gap, and is drawing crowds of thousands to campaign rallies. Why? Because where most candidates are calculating and rehearsed, Sanders is frank, authentic, and impassioned. For thirty years, he has spoken out against income inequality, environmental injustice, and privatized healthcare. Nowaamid an ever-widening chasm between the rich and the rest, and growing voter disenchantmentathe country is listening. With reporting from inside the campaign, personal relationships with Sandersas friends and colleagues, and meticulous research, noted reporter Harry Jaffe offers an engaging, insightful portrait of the ultimate outsider candidate, charting Sandersas course from Brooklyn to Burlington, and now to Des Moines and beyond. Within the untold narrative of Sandersas origins and political development, he also examines the growth of the progressive movement, and the recent developmentsaincluding the Occupy movement, the Great Recession, and the rise of the millennial generationathat have shifted Sandersas views from fringe to focal point.
