A Path to a Different Sort of Victory
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 04/09/2016 - 6:08pmThe pundits are all abuzz about whether or not Bernie Sanders has a "path to victory" in the Democratic primaries. Handicapping the horse race in all its minutiae from "the true math" to speculation over superdelegates and the size of campaign war chests fills the airwaves and plugs the tubes of the internets.
They are talking, largely, about a victory within the arcane electoral rules set up by the parties, but they are generally studiously ignoring the elephant in the room - the struggle of the 99% to achieve political and economic power.
Underneath all of the bloviating and rhetoric, power is what the so-called insurgent candidacies are really about.
