“2. Don’t demonize or denigrate Hillary Clinton. If she wins the Democratic nomination, I urge you to work like hell for her. She’ll be the only person standing between Donald Trump and the presidency of the United States. Besides, as I’ve said before, she’ll be an excellent president for the system we now have, even though Bernie would be the best president for the system we need.”
There have been few more eloquent supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ drive for the Democratic presidential nomination than former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who is precisely on the same page as Sanders when it comes to income inequality and the oppressive influence of money in politics in the U.S.
Reich wrote Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few last year, where he criticized the “revolving door between Washington and Wall Street,” that puts the profits of corporations before the public’s best interests.
In February of this year, Reich — a Clinton-era administration official — endorsed Sanders’ insurgent campaign over Hillary Clinton, calling him “the agent of change this nation so desperately needs.”
“1. Continue to work like hell for Bernie, especially given upcoming primaries in California and New Jersey on June 7. Putting aside superdelegates, the difference between him and Hillary Clinton isn’t huge.”
