Question: If "Bernie" has "sparked a political revolution," what is it a revolution about? He formerly spoke out quite strongly about our poverty crisis, and the reality that it's impossible to address this without also addressing poverty relief. The fact that he then jumped on the Middle Class Only bandwagon indicates his belief that our corporate state works so well, that everyone is able to work, and there are jobs for all. In other words -- more calls for trickle-down economics.
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
—Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
The media will try to skunk Bernie, they are already trying to do it, and he wont fall for it.
Regardless, anyone who wants to run for president on the Dem ticket will need to challenge VP Joe Biden for the nomination.
