The Economist declares that Bernie Sanders’ ideas “have little support within their party, let alone America.” This ignores polling that shows Sanders’ policies are actually extremely popular among Democratic voters, and quite popular with “let alone America”: Medicare-for-All maintains support from 79 percent of Hillary Clinton voters and 63 percent of all registered voters; tuition-free public college has the support of 80 percent of Clinton voters and 63 percent of voters in general. Public works spending is just generally popular, with 87 percent telling Quinnipiac (2/2–5/18) that they support “increasing federal spending for roads, bridges, mass transit and other infrastructure.”
The Economist’s Premature Obituary for the Sanders Movement
The Economist maintains Sanders’ time in the sun has passed, and the popularity of his brand of progressive populism is vastly overstated.

The American Progressive movement has alot of very good demands, very well articulated in The American Reformers Next Deal, should the absolute Central demand be the intergration of The Federal Reserve System into the United States Department of The Treasury, currently The Federal Reserve System operates outside the bounds on Congress formulating Monetary policy behind closed doors by Bankers from Wall Street, As Bernie Sanders articulated The Fed lent out 16 Trillion USD to Wall Street Banks and Private Banks all over the World without public oversight, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution mandates that Congress is the only entity that can “Coin Money and Regulate the Value therof”. Bernie Sanders touched on this in his 2016 campaign but did not hammer it in every debate and public appetence.

“Fifty years ago, the Founder of our movement J.S. Woodsworth wrote a pledge, that pledge has been the Beacon star our my life and I pass it on to those of you that must continue the building of this Movement and I hope you make it your pledge, J.S. Wordsworth wrote “We Pledge ourselfs to United Efforts in establishing on the Earth an era of Justice, Truth and Love.
May our faces be to the future, may we be the Children of that brighter and better day, which even now is beginning to Dawn, May we not impede but rather co-operate with those spiritual forces that which we believe are impelling the World upward and onward, for our Supreme task is to make our dreams come true, to transform our City into the Holy City and to make this land in reality Gods Own Country”
Thank You,

The Progressive Movement has at most 10 years (3650 days) to turn the United States of America around and destroy the corporatocracy, I dont need to explain the program that the Progressive Movement have to rally around as its on the top of American Reformers Page, If I had to suggest one esay to read straight forward book which lays out progressive Agenda I would say its Thom Hartmanns “Crash of 2016”.
Get Busy.

Should The Progressive Movement aim to have Economic and Social Rights enshrined in the United States Constitution as additional Constitutional Amendment, rather than just Legislation under the General Welfare and Commerce Clauses?.

We’ve been saying this for four years. It’s time to smash the monopolies apart!
“Virtually every major sector in our economy has been whittled down to a few major players. Two companies produce nearly all of America’s toothpaste. One, Luxottica, produces nearly all the sunglasses. There are four cable and Internet providers, who have divvied up the country and rarely compete. There are four major airlines. There are four major commercial banks. There are four major Internet platforms — Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Google — controlling your information flow, your data, and your virtual life.”
This Budding Movement Wants to Smash Monopolies
In a conference room overlooking the Chicago River last week, 35 years of thinking about the economy came under direct challenge. It won’t get as much attention as a Sean Spicer press conference or a Bernie Sanders town hall, but decades from now it may prove much more important to how our econ…
