Want to know why Bernie Sanders is drawing crowds of 10,000 in Madison and Portland? Because this.
ATU (Amalgamated Transit Union) President Larry Hanley explained today why so many labor leaders #feelthebern.
“People are united in the notion that we can’t accept the status quo, that the Democratic Party no longer is the party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, it’s more like the party of Nelson Rockefeller and the Republicans are more like the party of the Ku Klux Klan. That’s kinda the way America’s shifted,” he said. “There is a boil going on right under the surface in America and the advantage Bernie has, by being willing to talk about this kind of stuff, is that he may just make that pot boil over.”
