A narrative of hope, of deep near mythic yearnings for a better world, of a force awakening within, the survival of a planet at stake
where have we seen this before? As with Star Wars, the Sanders brand, his story, taps into our deepest longings. We want to believe the promise of a new hope. We want to believe a better world is possible. We want to believe that by uniting together as a people we can awaken a force that can defeat the dark side. Unlike any other candidate, Sanders acknowledges the unparalleled influence banks and large corporations have on politics and on peoples lives our lives. In Sanders narrative, these entities have become so large, so influential, so corrupt, so dangerous that they are akin to the Galactic Empire and not one but several Death Stars.
