RSN: FOCUS: Robert Reich | What Bernie Accomplished





Reader Supported News

We don’t need to raise a huge amount of money. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we are talking to people who are pretty reluctant to donate.

The problem begins and ends with the difference between how many people we serve and how many contribute.

The difference is huge.

FOCUS: Robert Reich | What Bernie Accomplished

Reich writes: "Dear Bernie, I'm sorry you will not be president, but the country is far better off because of your unrelenting courage and commitment to the progressive change we so desperately need in a country riddled with inequality and division."

Four years ago, in the 2016 Democratic primaries, you made it respectable to talk about Medicare for All, free public higher education, and raising taxes on the wealthy. 
You alerted America to the vast and growing gap in income, wealth, and political power, and its dangers for our economy and democracy.
This time, you've not only made it respectable to talk about these and other issues, such as a Green New Deal, but you've persuaded a majority of Americans that these problems must be addressed. You've given voice to the poor, working class, the undocumented, indigenous people -- all those who have been bullied and abandoned throughout our history.
You have inspired and galvanized a new generation of young Americans. You have made it possible for America to live up to its ideals. Your courage and determination have made me and countless others proud.
May your voice, your indignation, and your moral clarity ring out for years to come.
Fondly,
Bob
