Senator Bernie Sanders won 13 million votes and a majority of young
voters in the 2016 Democratic primary, giving a consensus
unbeatable party favorite, Hillary Clinton, a shockingly close
challenge. He emerged from the presidential election as the most
popular politician in the US, despite being a 75-year-old
self-professed "democratic socialist." What lessons can be drawn
from this surprising but-in the end-losing campaign, and what to
make of the direction the Sanders movement has gone since the
election? Vermont native Heather Gautney is a senior policy advisor
to Bernie Sanders in his Washington, DC office and was a senior
researcher on his presidential campaign. The author and editor of
several books on social movements and American politics, she brings
her scholarly expertise and left politics to bear on the scenes and
conflicts she witnessed from inside the campaign and inside the
Beltway. This is both an insider's sympathetic view of the Sanders
phenomenon and a skeptical left scholar's view of its limitations.
In reviewing what enabled Sanders to reach out to an unprecedented
number of people with a socialist message, she draws lessons about
the prospects and perils of building a leftist movement in the
United States. Gautney's reflections on the role that race and
class played in this election cycle and analysis of the prospects
and perils of the Democratic Party will advance the passionate
debate over how to build a progressive opposition to Trump and a
lasting left movement in America.
