Sen. Bernie Sanders is embracing his anger in a new book, 'It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism.' He spoke with NPR about those frustrations — and the power of the working-class vote.
"They say the older you get, the more conservative you become," he writes."That's not me. The older I get, the angrier I become about the uber-capitalist system."
"We didn't have a lot of books in the house, and my brother brought books into the house and talked with me about politics, talked to me about history, talked to me about psychology," Sanders told NPR.Today Larry Sanders is a Green Party politician in the United Kingdom. I was bitterly disappointed [at the failure of giant social legislation known as] Build Back Better... What many of us said is... Let's deal with the structural crises facing America. Our child care system is a disaster. Our healthcare system is dysfunctional. Kids can't afford to go to college. Let's deal with the existential threat of climate change. Let's deal with income and wealth inequality.
SI: I was going to ask if you're still angry at someone like Joe Manchin. It sounds like you are. From his perspective, he's representing a very conservative state that votes for Republicans for president hugely and needs to bring them something that they can believe in. Do you sympathize with his political situation?SI: In the Democratic primary.I understand... In my view, politicians do well when they stand up and fight for working people.
