Within this audiobook, the brilliant manager of Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign explains how Bernie took on the entire establishment and changed modern American politics for good.
When Jeff Weaver hopped in an automobile with Bernie Sanders in the summertime of 1986, he had simply no idea the Vermont backroads would business lead them all the way to the 2016 presidential advertising campaign.
In How Bernie Won, Weaver tells listeners how Bernie constructed a movement that would sweep America about how exactly Bernie Won: Inside the Revolution That’s Taking Back again Our Country–and Where We Go from Here and inspire millions. He vowed never to run a negative campaign. He would focus on policies, not personalities. He would not become beholden to a lot of money. He would make America great.
Weaver also explains the way they overcame significant challenges: A mass media that thrived on negative campaigns. A party that thrived on personalities. And a political system that thrived on big money. Weaver clarifies how Bernie beat them all and, in doing this, proceeded to go from having small national name acknowledgement when he joined the race to being probably one of the most well known and well-known people in the world by its end-because, Weaver argues, Bernie earned the race.
He moved the debate from the worries from the 1% to those from the 99%. He forced the Democrats to keep in mind their populist root base. And he showed that an outsider with genuine ideas and ways to get them completed was more popular than somebody propped up by backroom politics sugar daddies.
From holding bags of “Bernie control keys” and picket-stick signs, to managing a large number of campaign workers, to looking ahead to 2020, Weaver chronicles the birth of a trend that didn’t result in November 2016. It’s only just begun.
