Bernie Sanders, Movement Politics, & Changing the Wind

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 6:35 pm By Mike Clawson

Whatever the final outcome of the Democratic primary, the contest between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders has served to highlight two rather different philosophies of political change. Indeed, many Hillary supporters often have been heard to say things along the lines of “I like Bernie’s ideas, but I just don’t think they’re realistic. He can’t win, and even if he did, he’d never get any of them passed.” The underlying assumption is that politics is merely the art... Read more

It’s Time to Put Pressure on Superdelegates

Last updated on: March 29, 2016 at 10:39 am By Steve Knight

Shaun King is absolutely right — the superdelegate system is bad for the Democratic Party: … on Saturday, Sanders won every county in Washington state and won nearly 75% of the vote. It was a drubbing. Will of the people be damned, the superdelegates in Washington all said they are voting for Clinton, including Gov. Jay Inslee, U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray and U.S. Reps. Jim McDermott, Suzan DelBene, Rick Larsen, Adam Smith, Denny Heck and Derek Kilmer.... Read more

It would happen at Bernie Sanders’ Portland event, of course. Portland being the city that gave us Portlandia, and the hilarious “Put a Bird On It” sketch. Well, there was a bird at Bernie’s rally in Portland on Friday, who made a very special appearance. Just watch the video: Posted by POLITICO on Friday, March 25, 2016 But what is more remarkable is Bernie’s actual response: “I think there may be some symbolism here. I know it doesn’t look like...

Bernie Sanders: a Jew With a Christian Politic

Last updated on: March 24, 2016 at 10:56 pm By Steve Knight

By Jeremy John. Originally posted on glassdimly.com. Poll numbers are like profits for politicians. And in some sense, this is what has gone wrong with the American election cycle: politicians have become scientists who cast their stances machine-part by part until they assemble the perfect election-bot. If that weren’t enough, the politician’s views are surveyed and staked, a deed is drawn up, and each of the views that won the election are sold to the money-changers that funded the victory....

Last updated on: March 24, 2016 at 11:32 pm By Mike Clawson

Welcome to the Christians for Bernie blog! Now, immediately some of you may be wondering, “Why Christians for Bernie?” Why would Christians in particular be drawn to a Jewish socialist whose personal religious views don’t fall neatly into any of the conventional institutional options? Well, besides the obvious similarity between that description and a certain first-century Jewish carpenter, allow me to highlight five other reasons American Christians should support Bernie Sanders for president this election season: 1. Bernie’s platform is about helping... Read more
