Larry Lessig Says Bernie Sanders Is Caught Up In "Fantasy Politics.” Int. w/ Cenk Uygur (edited)

Upstart presidential candidate Larry Lessig says Bernie Sanders is “promising the moon” - telling voters that as president he will pursue an aggressively progressive agenda on issues like income inequality, the environment, immigration and racial equality. The one problem? He can never achieve any of his laudable objectives without first addressing the single issue that dominates American politics: the corrupting influence of money.

In this edited portion of an hour-long interview with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur, Lessig explains how Bernie Sanders’ campaign is falling short, why the topic of money in politics is marginalized and what the next president can do on day one to begin to take back our democracy from the plutocrats.
