Economic inequality could do the same for Bernie Sanders. Immigration concerns won Trump the Republican nomination and eventually the presidency. Australians should be buoyant about the prospects of a Bernie Sanders administration. On the contrary, Sanders’ domestic political agenda would greatly strengthen America’s economy and increase its power and legitimacy on the world stage. Yet, there’s simply no evidence for any of these fear-mongering claims. Some even try to conflate Sanders’ Scandinavian style democratic socialism with Latin American socialist authoritarianism. Priests of the economic orthodoxy frequently remind CNN and Fox News viewers that higher taxes and greater government intervention will stifle growth, increase inflation, and reduce private sector innovation. In truth, the electability case against Sanders is a proxy argument for criticising his economic agenda. Forgive me for not being entirely convinced. The same people who reassured us that Trump’s election was impossible now claim Bernie Sanders is unelectable. A self-identified democratic socialist, Sanders has many Democratic operatives and media pundits warning of the allegedly inevitable Trump victory come November 3rd. Senator Bernie Sanders, the independent member from Vermont, looks likely to be the Democratic Party’s nominee to take on Donald Trump in the upcoming 2020 United States (US) presidential election. Only Bernie Sanders can reclaim American legitimacy and power for the Asian Century. Without profound economic change, the United States will lose its claim to global leadership.
