Cornel West endorses ‘brother’ Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders was back in New Hampshire yesterday, in a swing that took him through the North Country. While pundits declared he is a fringe candidate with little chance of success, now he’s rivaling Hillary Clinton in the polls.

One of the people to speak was Ben Cohen, who was a founder of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream.

“Our job together is to change that reality, together”, said Sanders.

As Sanders calls for a political revolution he is also giving a national voice to progressive values that seems to be inspiring Democrats across the county.

Sanders spoke out at a rally in South Carolina on the same day that Americans for Prosperity, the leading conservative political organization backed by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, held its annual summit in Ohio. Bernie Sanders and President Obama. We are raising a substantial sum of money the old-fashioned way. The average contribution: “$31.20”.

“The full promise of equal that is our birthright as Americans”, said Senator Bernie Sanders.

Speaking to in a middle school gymnasium in Conway – packed with a crowd of 700 on this Monday morning – Sanders acknowledged this propensity for lengthy orations. He can often go for an hour, before getting to questions from the audience. Speculation is swirling around Vice President Joe Biden joining the race as well.

“I don’t have a problem with the way I am covered”, Sanders said after his Salem event.

Cruz told the crowd that the difference between himself and the other candidates is that “when I tell you I’m gonna do something, I do exactly what I said I would do”. Not one of the great issues facing our society.

“We can not afford to waste intellectual capital”, said Sanders. Sanders wants to make public colleges and universities free of tuition. He said students should be able to refinance their loans like people can refinance homes. Other plans include increasing and expanding Social Security by lifting the cap on taxable income.

And Sanders does have a lot to say.

As for health care, Sanders said the U.S.is the only major country that doesn’t guarantee health care as a right.

Standing outside Sanders’ event in Conway, Rebeca Valente, a 22-year old from Boston, said she turns to Facebook for news on Sanders, not traditional media. “We need new rules on the use of force”.
