520    "There's a split in the Democratic Party. Progressives are
       surging with ideas and candidates like Bernie Sanders, 
       Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 72 percent 
       of Democratic voters are progressives. But centrists like 
       Tom Perez and the Clintons still run the DNC party 
       apparatus--and they don't want to compromise. Intraparty 
       warfare exploded into the open in 2016. It's even bigger 
       now. The struggle goes back decades, to the New Left and 
       the election of Richard Nixon over George McGovern. It 
       continued with the Democratic establishment's quashing of 
       insurgent progressives like Jesse Jackson, Ralph Nader and
       Howard Dean. The vast scale of the DNC's secret conspiracy
       to stop Bernie Sanders in 2016 nomination came out 
       courtesy of WikiLeaks. Will Democrats again become the 
       party of the working person? Or will the corporatists win 
       and continue their domination of electoral politics? Ted 
       Rall gets to the bottom of the story neither the Democrats
       nor the Republicans want you to know: how the civil war in
       the Democratic Party poses an existential threat to the 
       two-party system"--|cProvided by publisher.
