Description
The only graphic novel-style biography of the Presidential Contender.
National Bestseller updated for 2020 with 24 new pages taking Bernie into the 2020 election.
Ted Rall's Bernie explores the personal and political development of a man who burst onto the national stage in 2015-rallying Americans and shaking up the Democratic Party-after decades in Congress. He's leading the polls, but win or lose the Democratic nomination for 2020, he's setting a new benchmark for a revived progressivism within a party that has rejected it for half a century. Insightful, funny, and accessible, this biography-in-graphic-novel-form of the presidential candidate explains both his early life and political rise, but also shows the broader history (and decline) of progressive democratic values in the U.S. until Bernie brought them back to the forefront of the political conversation.
