Despite missing the mark on the 2019 People’s Party, in his new book, The System (March 2020), Reich is still optimistic about winning over the Tea Party. Talk about optimistic! And he’s still saying, “a new party could unite the disaffected and anti-establishment elements of both major parties and give voice to the 90% of Americans who have been losing ground.” A radical party that can win a 90% victory! You must admit that’s as optimistic as you can get.
