not 1996...which is actually a pretty critical difference.

2) "the creation of what I call the White Rural Jobs Program – prisons"-lol, since Sanders touts so much that he's from a rural and nearly all white state, does that explain his "yea" vote for the 1994 crime bill?

or does the fact that he was "more interested in electoral victory than in social change" explain it?

Oh, and please explain why Bernie Sanders endorsed the "neoliberal Clinton regime" for reelection in 1996.
