Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

In England, Corbyn finally decided the Labour Party is useless, and started a third party. Americans are thinking that about the Democratic Party. To take on Trump, do they want to take on AIPAC and the Democratic Party, or good people start a working-class multigenerational party." — Bernie Sanders

"All these centrist-type parties all over the world that once had some attachment to the working classes now stand for nothing. The traditional center-left parties, the Democratic Party, the Labour Party in England; the Social Democrats in Germany, people are rejecting them." — Bernie Sanders
