Where We Go from Here; Two Years in the Resistance
New York: St. Martin's Press [Thomas Dunne Books], 2018. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. ix, [5], 270, [4] pages. Index. Bernard Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is an American politician who has served as the junior United States Senator from Vermont since 2007. Vermont's at-large Congressman from 1991 to 2007, he is the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history and a member of the Democratic caucus. Sanders is running for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president. A self-described democratic socialist, Sanders is known for his opposition to economic inequality. He broadly supports labor rights, and has supported universal and single-payer healthcare, paid parental leave, tuition-free tertiary education, and a Green New Deal to create jobs addressing global warming. He broadly supports reducing military spending, pursuing more diplomacy and international cooperation, and putting greater emphasis on labor rights and environmental concerns when negotiating international trade agreements. Derived from a Kirkus Review: The longest-serving independent politician chronicles his ongoing fight for progressive legislation. Vermont Sen. Sanders recounts his activities from June 14, 2016, when Hillary Clinton won the party’s nomination, ending his own presidential campaign, to Aug. 25, 2018, when the Democratic National Committee approved a major reform that eliminated superdelegates from impacting the first ballot at a presidential convention. Besides dealing with the intractable Trump administration, the author regrets that he faces lack of knowledge and, often, interest among the populace. The author includes speeches he has delivered around the country and excerpts from interviews in diarylike entries that focus on issues such as taxation, the environment, education, criminal justice, gun control, immigration, military spending, and foreign policy. With hundreds of progressive candidates emerging in the 2018 races, he believes voters will reinvigorate a nation “that resonates with love, hope, and prosperity.” A hopeful view of America’s uncertain future. Condition: Very good / Very good.
