Acerca de esta escucha
Bernie Sanders' campaign for the presidency of the United States has galvanized supporters all over the country, drawing attention to issues of economic, racial, and social justice and spotlighting one of the most interesting and unconventional candidates in decades.
In a special afterword, Nation editor John Nichols assesses Sanders’ Senate career and describes how it led to a presidential campaign that is changing the American discussion of politics and the presidency.
Sanders tells the story of a passionate and principled political life as well as his blueprint for the nation that works for everyone. He describes cutting his teeth in the Civil Rights Movement, building a grassroots political movement, and becoming the first independent elected to the US Congress in 40 years.
The story continues into the US Senate and through the dramatic launch of his presidential campaign.

Historia
When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, it was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a "fringe" campaign, something not to be taken seriously. After all, he was just an independent senator from a small state with little name recognition. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment. By the time Sanders' campaign came to a close, however, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong.

The media can't stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government was taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.

Historia
Every facet of American life is being overtaken by big platform monopolists like Facebook, Google, and Bayer (which has merged with the former agricultural giant Monsanto), resulting in a greater concentration of wealth and power than we've seen since the Gilded Age. They are evolving into political entities that often have more influence than the actual government, bending state and federal legislatures to their will and even creating arbitration courts that circumvent the US justice system.

Never having run for office before, Katie Porter charted a new path in 2018 when she was elected to Congress as a Democrat in historically conservative Orange County, California. Underestimated as a single mom and chided for her progressive values, Katie defied expectations. Then, using her signature whiteboard, she began to take CEOs and corrupt government officials to task in Congressional hearings. The videos went viral, introducing Americans to her no-bullshit style, and making her a coveted guest on cable news and late-night television.

With The Fighting Soul, Ari Rabin-Havt takes us where no profiles or televised interview have been able to go. As a close advisor and deputy campaign manager on Bernie Sanders's most recent—and likely last—presidential campaign, the tireless Rabin-Havt spent more hours between 2017 and 2020 with the Vermont senator than anyone else. Traveling the country for rallies and to support striking workers, the two visited thirty-six states, drove tens of thousands of miles, and ate in countless chain restaurants.

‘It was a sweet finish after the bitter pills of floggings and bullets with which these same governments, just at that time, dosed the German working-class risings’. The Communist Manifesto is, perhaps surprisingly, a most engaging and accessible work, containing even the odd shaft of humour in this translation by Samuel Moore for the 1888 English edition.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

On January 6, 2021, insurgents stormed the U.S. Capitol, an act of domestic terror without parallel in American history, designed to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. In a resolution six months later, the House of Representatives called it "one of the darkest days of our democracy," and established a special committee to investigate how and why the attack happened. Celadon Books, in collaboration with The New Yorker, presents the committee's final report, the definitive account of January 6th and what led up to it.

From one of the most prominent voices on the American left, a galvanizing argument for why we need socialism in the US today. Bhaskar Sunkara explores socialism's history since the mid-1800s and presents a realistic vision for its future. Sunkara shows that socialism, though often seen primarily as an economic system, in fact offers the means to fight all forms of oppression, including racism and sexism. The ultimate goal is not Soviet-style planning, but to win rights to health care, education, and housing and to create new democratic institutions in workplaces and communities.

Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

I'd kiss the ground Bernie walks on, as much as I'd kiss the ground George Carlin walks on. He fought against a system designed to destroy him and even though the fight was useless, madness, and futile, he kept fighting, on and on, endlessly. He stood by his words and even after being slapped, booed, hated, and even having his family stalked. He kept going.
He is at the end of his life and he got to watch our entire country fall into pieces while the Democrats and Republicans not only assisted in this but profited off of it. It is disgusting. I cannot imagine what it feels like to watch everything he fought for to be destroyed little by little. Its saddening. To this day, he is still just an outcast, and this book aged like fine wine. Or milk, depending on how you view it.
Enlightening and terrifying.

Bernie wrote his “first” draft of this title when he first won his Senator’s seat in Vermont.He’s been calling out the corruption of the 1% since Day One, it’s remarkable.--The opposite of flim-flamming! The whole time you listen, wondering, “How can anyone this principled make it in politics? You have an answer by the end.
For this new edition, everyone involved: Bernie, his editors at Verso, myself, his wife and staff, John Nichols from "The Nation"-- we all wanted it to directly address the presidential campaign and What The Hell Happens Now.
I can’t believe how “Youuuuhuge" the campaign got from the time we started! We thought Bernie would have plenty of time to narrate his book... OMG, he took off like a rocket.
Thank goodness, we had a fan and uber-talented actor in Joe Barrett, who was thrilled to take on the role. I know, we’d all love to hear Larry David’s stand-up satire, but I don’t think David could keep it real for the gravitas. And there are indeed heavy moments. Sanders makes a compelling case, of a different playing field, of putting people first. --Of what it’s like to hang in there when it seems like you’ve been pushed down beyond repair.
If you’re looking for a little Bernie-reality-check and you can’t make it to the next /rally— if you want to know the man behind the campaign miracle— this is it.
To get ready for our recording, I listened every other Presidential and Candidate memoir out there. It’s so funny to hear them all, I think I should win a baroque prize.
To give you an idea of what I thought was good listening: Obama’s memoir is the best “writing;” he could be a novelist or a poet. Bill Clinton’s “My Life” is also a page-turner. The others... suffer on the SNORE-spectrum. Biography-wise, Caro’s book on Johnson is excellent. In any case, no matter what the candidate, it’s fascinating to hear them speak on their childhood, background, ideas. Even George Bush! If you’re voting for one of them... or campaigning against them... do dive in!
Behind the Scenes with Bernie--- WORTH it!
