"What I wanted to do in the book, It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism (Penguin Random House 2023), is to break through the irrelevant discussion that takes place," Senator Bernie Sanders told an audience at a UVA Center for Politics event on March 2, 2023. He continued, "Politics is more than polls, more than elections, more than Democrats attacking Republicans or Republicans attacking Democrats. Real politics to me is about what's going on in American life today." To the young people in the crowd, Senator Sanders encouraged them to stay engaged, “Change is not easy. It’s part of a long struggle for justice.” In this episode, we share Senator Sanders’ remarks and his discussion with Center Scholar Robert Costa, Chief Election and Campaign Correspondent for CBS News.
