We talk with Ari Rabin-Havt about his campaign memoir, The Fighting Soul: On The Road With Bernie Sanders. Then we play an excerpt from our 2020 interview with Chuck Rocha, Bernie’s campaign lead on Latino voters, about his book, Tío Bernie.

Yet he inspired some of the most vicious vitriol from the established press and the Twitterverse ever seen. Few people know who Bernie really is, as he deliberately keeps the focus on his policies, not himself. In his book, The Fighting Soul, Ari Rabin-Havt reveals the real Bernie Sanders. He was a close advisor and deputy campaign manager on Sanders’s 2020 campaign, spending more hours with the Vermont senator than anyone else. The book is a fascinating dive into a presidential campaign like no other—how it succeeded in building a massive following and how it ultimately failed to gain the nomination. In addition to serving as deputy campaign manager on Senator Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, Ari Rabin-Havt  was a Sanders aide from 2017 to 2021. His writing has appeared in the New Republic and the Washington Post, among other publications.

Ari Rabin-Havt, THE FIGHTING SOUL & Chuck Rocha, TÍO BERNIE

John Nichols

In this episode of Writer’s Voice, we continue our Election 2020 series with two looks back—one way back and the other more recent—to derive important lessons for this election season. First, we talk with John Nichols about his new book, The Fight For The Soul Of The Democratic Party: The Enduring Legacy of Henry Wallace’s Anti-Fascist, Anti-Racist Politics. Then Bernie2020 campaign strategist Chuck Rocha talks about his new book Tío Bernie: The Inside Story of How Bernie Sanders Brought Latinos Into the Political Revolution. Writer’s Voice — in depth progressive conversation with writers of all genres. On the air since 2004. Rate us on iTunes or whatever podcast app you use! Like us on Facebook at Writers Voice with Francesca Rheannon or find us on twitter @WritersVoice.  John Nichols The Democratic Party is really two parties. There’s its largely progressive base with a small but growing representation. And then there’s its centrist to center-right corporate dominated leadership. Many think this split began with Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council. But according to John Nichols, it actually goes back much further, all the way to the 1944 Democratic convention when Henry Wallace was defeated as the choice for FDR’s VP. Wallace warned of an American fascism rooted in corporate domination and racial and gender oppression. No surprise: The wealthy and the racists in the party hated him for it. In his book The Fight For The Soul Of The Democratic Party, Nichols takes us from FDR through Truman and down to our times to describe the Party’s split between its left and right wings—and give us the urgent lessons that history has for us today. John Nichols is the political correspondent for the Nation magazine and the author of many books. Read the transcript from a clip from our interview with John Nichols. Read an excerpt from The Fight For The Soul Of The Democratic Party.  [Henry Wallace “Common Man” speech] Chuck Rocha Chuck Rocha was a chief strategist for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign for president and also worked on Sanders’ 2016 bid. While he worked broadly in the campaign, his special mission was to mobilize the Latino vote for the Senator. He succeeded beyond all expectations. Bernie basically won in Iowa with Latino support. And he crushed it in Nevada with the same. The Latino vote boosted Bernie’s win in California, and came out heavily for Bernie in Texas. But by Texas, all the other Democratic candidates had folded in favor of Joe Biden and Bernie’s campaign collapsed. In his book Tío Bernie, Chuck Rocha gives us the play-by-play of how the campaign won the Latino vote. He also tells us how a working class Latino kid from East Texas rose to become one of the most important Latino political strategists in the nation. Chuck Rocha is president of Solidarity Strategies and a co-founder of Nuestro PAC.
