If You Read Only One Thing Today...

Read this.

In fundamental ways, the 2016 Democratic primary has been a litigation of the Obama years, and of whether the president’s 2008 campaign vow of “change we can believe in” succeeded or failed. The Hillary Clinton campaign has been built around the notion that, indeed, President Obama achieved substantial, progressive change, in the face of unprecedented and partly race-based obstruction, change that can be made durable only by electing a Democratic president willing to hold the line.

Mr. Sanders’s campaign, meanwhile, is an implicit critique of that proposition. It is premised on the idea that Mr. Obama promised sweeping, revolutionary change and failed, and that Mr. Sanders can succeed where Mr. Obama didn’t, by unleashing a huge outpouring of popular pressure on Washington.

The Sanders effort has attracted a fierce following among young people, political independents, McGovernite liberals once forced into political exile by Bill Clinton’s Democratic Leadership Council, and working-class white voters, whose broad sense of anger, economic displacement and distrust of institutions are also fueling the rise of Donald J. Trump on the right.

( apart from the sunny optimism that Presdent Obama is doing a wonderful job!, and it's only haters disputing this, which is the continuing propaganda coming out of the national mainstream media.)
