On this edition of Your Call, former labor secretary Robert Reich discusses the election, how we got here, and the future of the Democratic Party.
He writes: There was no mandate for Trump. The real mandate is that Democrats need to wage a battle against the wealthy forces who have rigged the economy. Americans want a fairer economy. Trump Republicans won’t deliver one. Democrats must fill the void.
Is that even possible given the Party’s close connections to the ultra wealthy?
