Jackson ukuba aphumelele iVermont ngokuchasene noMnu. Dukakis ngomnye wabathunywa ngo-1988. Nangona uMnu Dukakis wayeza kuphumelela ukutyunjwa kukaMongameli weDemokhrasi, uMnu. Jackson walisondeza kubongameli. kunaye nawuphi na umntu omnyama phambi kwakhe.
Intetho kaMnu Sanders uxhasa uMnu. Jackson Ukufana neentetho zakhe ezininzi kwiphulo lakhe lwanamhlanje-kubandakanya enye yeentetho zakhe zokutyikitya, kwanele. UMnu Sanders kunconywa Umnumzana Jackson ngokudibanisa abavoti abangavunyelwanga amalungelo kunye nokugxila kwimiba efana nokungalingani kobutyebi nokungabikho kokusesikweni ngokobuhlanga, kwaye iphulo lika Mnumzana Jackson lika-88 lifana ncam neqonga langoku lika Mnu. UGqr. Cornel West, oye wakhankasela egameni lika Mnu Sanders iinyanga, kwaye ebesebenzela omabini amaphulo kaMongameli Jackson, ifaniswe Umnumzana Sanders kumvukeli ngokuhambelana noMnumzana Jackson -kodwa ngokugxeka ngokuthe ngqo nangaphezulu kwinkqubela phambili yeWall Street.
UJese Jackson ngoyena mntu ubalulekileyo kubongameli. Wayesoloko enzulu; Kuphela nje kukuba izazinzulu zopolitiko nabanye oosopolitiki abalijongela phantsi iphulo lakhe bayithathela ingqalelo imizamo yakhe kwaye bawajongela phantsi amathuba akhe. Ngaphandle kokudelwa nokuzithoba kwamajelo eendaba- okanye mhlawumbi kungenxa yayo- uJackson waya kweyona ngcambu ikwanti kunye neendawo ezikwanti zaseMelika ukuyokufumana amandla ephulo esele liqalisile ukuguqula ezopolitiko, wabhala ibhodi yabahleli. Isizwe , ngo-1988 ukuvuma Mnu. Jackson ukuba ngumongameli. Isithuba seminyaka emihlanu umgama wakhe kubaxhasi, abaphathi, abalamli kunye nabacebisi abasebenzisa i-Democratic Party kwaye basebenzise ngokusemthethweni abagqatswa bayo bavumele uJackson ukuba enze izinto ezingenakucingwa kwaye athethe amagama angenakuthethwa-malunga nobuhlanga, malunga neklasi, malunga nokulingana kwaye, ngokwenene, malunga nedemokhrasi. Ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elinokuthi likhetheke kunyulo lukamongameli kule nkulungwane, amandla akhe uwafumana ebantwini.
Phantse amashumi amabini eminyaka kamva, ayitshintshanga kangako into yokuba imiba eziswe kukukhanya kukazwelonke nguMnu. Jackson ayikaqwalaselwa ngokwaneleyo ngumbutho weDemokhrasi ngendlela enentsingiselo. Iphulo likaMnumzana Sanders linika ithemba lokuba ezo zinqongopheleyo zinokusonjululwa.

Ingcaciso kaSanders yohlaziyo olusisiseko-ukhathalelo lwempilo oluhlawulwa ngumntu omnye, ikholeji engahlawulelwayo, umvuzo ophantsi we-15-ngeyure, ukuqhekeka kweebhanki ezinkulu, ukuqinisekisa ukuba izityebi zihlawula isabelo esifanelekileyo serhafu-kuye kwabakhuthaza abantu ukuba basebenze ilizwe.
Ubudlelwane phakathi kukaMnu Sanders noMnumzana Jackson buye baba yoluntu ngakumbi Ukuphendula ukugxekwa (ngabaxhasi bakaNks. Clinton) ukuba uMnu. Sanders ngandlel 'ithile akazukusebenza kakuhle ukulwela amalungelo oluntu nobulungisa ngokobuhlanga. Ukukhokelwa nguNks Clinton eSouth Carolina kuxhomekeke kuluntu olumnyama-olwenza malunga nesiqingatha yabavoti beDemokhrasi kurhulumente-kodwa obo budlelwane babunengxaki emva kokuphulukana naye apho ngo-2008 batyholwa , ngumyeni wakhe uBill Clinton, kuBarack Obama engomnye umgqatswa omnyama njengo Mnumzana Jackson.

Olo firewall lubonakala lubuthathaka ngemini njengoko abantu abaninzi beqhelana noMnumzana Sanders kwaye bevezwa kukugxeka kukaNkskz.
Ukuba umamele kakuhle apha, uyakuqaphela ukuba uHillary Clinton usacula ingoma endala efanayo ngesitshixo esahluke kancinci. Uthetha ukuba akufuneki sikhohliswe ziingxoxo zikaBernie kuba kufuneka 'sinyanisekile,' 'sijongane nezinto eziyinyani zopolitiko,' kwaye singalingwa sikholelwe ukuba singabulwela ubulungisa bezoqoqosho kwaye siphumelele, ubhale UMichelle Alexander we UJim Crow omtsha . Xa abezopolitiko beqala ukukuxelela ukuba 'akunangqondo' ukuxhasa abagqatswa abafuna ukwakha intshukumo yokulingana okukhulu, umvuzo ofanelekileyo, ukhathalelo lwempilo kwindalo iphela, kunye nokupheliswa kolawulo lwenkampani kwinkqubo yethu yezopolitiko, kungcono kungcono ukushiya igumbi.
Intatheli ye-MSNBC kaZwelonke yeendaba u-Joy Reid uphinde waqinisekisa ubuthathaka obukhoyo kuNks Clinton's hubris yokuba ivoti emnyama ivaliwe. Iphulo likaClinton libheja ukuba inkxaso yakhe yezwi ku-Obama kunye nenkxaso yabadlali bamaziko anje ngeCongressus Black Caucus, nekomiti yakhe yezopolitiko eyamxhasa ngoLwesine, kunye namagosa anyuliweyo abantsundu basekuhlaleni abanjengo-Sen Sen State Marlon Kimson kunye neenkokheli zecawe. Ukuvota, UNks Reid ubhale . Kodwa iincoko namagosa anyuliweyo kunye namaqhinga eDemokhrasi kurhulumente atyhila uchulumanco oluncinci kugqatso lukaClinton kunye nenkxalabo ekhulayo yokuba abavoti abamnyama kuphela abangaxakekanga, iphulo lakhe likhutshwa liQela Sanders.
Kudliwanondlebe kunye Induli U-Mnumzana Jackson uthe ebengenazicwangciso zokuxhasa nawuphi na umgqatswa wobongameli kwi-Democratic njengoko enayo imbali Ukusebenza noMnu. Sanders kunye noNks Clinton. Ngaphandle kokungathathi cala, uMnu. Jackson wamkhusela uMnu. Sanders ngaphezulu kwerekhodi lakhe lamalungelo kudliwanondlebe kunye Umnxeba wemihla ngemihla .
UBernie wayesilwa eChicago, hayi emazantsi-emazantsi-kwimizabalazo yezindlu efikelelekayo eChicago, utshilo uMnu. Intshukumo ibibanzi kakhulu. Kwakukho iinkokheli zamalungelo oluntu eChicago. Umnumzana Jackson ubhekise kwi Clinton smear tactic ejija izimvo kwinkokheli yamalungelo oluntu, u-Congressman uJohn Lewis. UMnu Lewis okhankanyiweyo ukuba akazange abone okanye adibane noMnumzana Sanders ngexesha lokulwela amalungelo oluntu, kwaye amazwi akhe athatyathwa ngaphandle komxholo wokucacisa uMnu Lewis wayethetha ukuba uMnu. Sanders akabandakanyekanga kulo mbutho. UMnu Lewis icacisiwe ukuba intetho yakhe ibingaqondanga ukuba itolikwe njengokugxeka.
Iinzame ezibekwe liphulo likaNks.Clinton zibonisa ukuphelelwa lithemba kwesiseko senkxaso esinciphayo. Ukuba inkxaso kaMnu. Sanders e-Nevada nase-South Carolina iguqulela ekoyiseni uloyiso kuwo omabini la mazwe emva kwelahleko ehlazisayo e-New Hampshire, iphulo lika-Ms Clinton liya kufela emanzini ngaphambi kokuba uninzi lwamazwe aphambili luqale ukuvota.
