Bernie Sanders and The Democratic Party:
Limited Choices? Or Other Possibilities?
With Members of The Peace and Freedom Party
and Independent Panelists

Here we are once again in another relentless election season, which has grown ever more tiresome and, in this case, outrageous. The two mainstream parties are interchangeable on much of their policy, and the results after millions are spent amounts to “same old same old;” — an increasingly dangerous result.

Once in awhile a new candidate inspires us to hope, but after the dust has settled we are left asking: How can we get out of this pointless paradigm? The Presidential Campaign of Bernie Sanders has drawn record crowds and electrified many left/progressives, but we need to ask the hard questions. Is it enough to “Feel the Bern?”

Or do we need to build a movement that will last beyond 2016 and transform America and our Mother Earth? How could we do this? Occupy Forum invites speakers from different political perspectives to talk about Bernie Sanders and to raise the potential of something different, something real, something outside the two wings of the single corporate party of America.
