Bernie Sanders publicly trashing the owner class that funds the Democratic Party isn’t going over well with the minions of Jeff Bezos and other corporate media barons. They think he’s “strange.” Maybe if you think the most popular politician in the country is strange it’s time to look in the mirror and chiggity check yourself before you riggity wreck yourself. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Michael Shure, and Amna Nawaz, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Bernie Sanders traveled to Nebraska this week to throw his support behind Omaha Democratic mayoral candidate, Heath Mello, who is running against the incumbent Republican mayor, Jean Stothert. A Mello win, Sanders has said, would give hope to other “progressive Democrats” in conservative states.
But Mello’s “progressive” credentials are questionable at best. As a state senator, he co-sponsored a bill requiring that abortion providers tell women they can have an ultrasound first, and mandating that providers who use ultrasound display the image in a way women can see if they choose. He said it represented a “positive first step to reducing the number of abortions in Nebraska.”
As a populist, Sanders has built a political career protesting economic inequality— and yet by campaigning for Mello, he has demonstrated a willingness to separate economic justice from reproductive justice. (So has Democratic National Committee Chair, Tom Perez, who is also helping to campaign for Mello and who has defended that decision, saying the job of the DNC is to help Democratic candidates win.) But abortion access is not just a medical issue, or even a social one; it is, at its core, also an economic concern. Here’s why.”*
