Summary from the Goodreads website . . . . .

 

Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign was a beginning, not an end. In his new book, America's most popular political figure speaks about what he's been doing to oppose the Trump agenda and strengthen the progressive movement and how we go forward as a nation.

 

 

My review on the Goodreads website . . . . .

 

    If you want to understand Presidential candidate Bernie's Sanders position on issues and get a preview of his platform this is the book to read. 

 

     For those who are tired of the same-old, same-old centrist politics of the Democratic party and completely turned off (as am I) by the divisive, hate-mongering, catering to big business and the wealthy elite by the Republican party, and the shamefully wrong and deceitful Citizens United decision on campaign financing - - then you need to learn what the progressive faction inside the Democratic party is up to.

 

     Bernie was the trailblazer and many are taking up his causes and making progress in bringing them to the public's attention and growing acceptance. If you're looking for some hope in the political morass, some reason to stay positive - - this is essential reading. In fact, listen to the majority of the current Democratic presidential candidates and they are all talking about the things that Bernie has, what is needed to happen to turn the country around and grow together. 

 

     If you thought Sanders would sit back and be more of a bystander after his 2016 primary defeat, you'd be surprised to learn what he's been doing since then. He certainly appears to be the real deal, actively working and promoting his causes since then. 

     This book is essentially an accounting of Bernie's activities since the 2016 primary, presented in chronological order. If more people work this hard, a lot is going to get done. The current generation of young voters is turning from apathy and poor voter turnout to activism and registration. It gives me hope, too.
