There is an interesting article by Michael Lind in the NY Times Trumpism and Clintonism Are the Future that barely gives mention to the (amplifying, not waning) social movement that Sanders represents.
The article places too much emphasis on predictability logic and may fail to take into consideration a much larger shift underway. This is one that goes beyond Republican & Democrat politics-as-usual and puts teeth behind the aim to resolve economic imbalances between rich & poor, find a sustainability-focused environmental solution. On a global level. My Fabric idea is part of this shift.
If Bernie does well in NY (within five points either way, as many expect), making the election a horse race, then the question arises, just how disruptive is the necessary paradigm shift going to be? And will America be putting its best minds behind it?
If business as usual reigns, it may be time for a viable third party, focused simply on sustainability, to emerge. It could be the decider on vital issues in ways that trump both Democrat and Republican linearities.
