. . . the arms, legs, and torso of the party; Bernard Sanders and his crowd control the head and heart.
THEY'LL NEVER admit it, but Biden and Sanders actually agree on far more than they disagree. Both champion universal health care, raising the minimum wage, raising taxes on the wealthy, wiping out student debt, making college affordable, if not free, and leading the fight against climate change. . . . With only slight variations on a theme, every single Democratic candidate in 2020, left or center, ran on the Sanders platform. . . . Whatever they choose, revolution or evolution, they're both paths to the same progressive goals. And those goals were first set by Sanders in 2016. That's why I argue that Sanders has already won the Democratic primary. (Bill Press, from The Hill, March 10, 2020, quoted in Notable and Quotable, The Wall Street Journal, March 13, 2020).
But where did candidate Sanders's ideology come from? From the academy and media. So explains The Wall Street Journal in an essay quoted in tomorrow's Unca Darrell.
