The issue is not Hillary Clinton's Wall St links but her party's core dogmas | Thomas Frank

The Democratic party rejected the New Deal and its stress on working-class Americans in favour of a technocratic elite - is it time for a political revolution?

Stunned by the rise of Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton has been at pains to assure the Democratic rank and file that she too understands their concerns; that just like her rival, she is capable of denouncing wealthy interests, of promising to break up big banks and even of hinting that she might prosecute powerful financiers.

After her landslide defeat in New Hampshire last week, she conceded that "the way too many things were going just wasn't right". There was a difference between her and the senator from Vermont, however: she was the candidate who would get things done, who could "actually make the changes that make your lives better".
