The 2016 election can be characterized as an intra-party insurgency campaign pitting democratic socialism against the neoliberal establishment. This research situates the 2016 Democratic primary in the context of severe economic recessions that have called into question the legitimacy of neoliberal orthodoxy. This has opened the space for a challenge to neoliberalism within the Democratic Party. The results reveal that education, health care, and Wall Street reform were salient issues discussed by the candidates using diagnostic and prognostic frames. viii INTRODUCTION The principle argument of this research project is that the 2016 Democratic Party primary campaign between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders represented a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party as it struggled to develop a coherent response to the ongoing legitimation crisis of neoliberalism. The evidence for this crisis can be seen in the tide of criticism aimed at “elites” and “the establishment” that has been growing across Western democracies. This anti-establishment turn, I argue in this thesis, is the result of a growing awareness on the part of the populace of the failures of neoliberal capitalism to follow through on its promises of growth and shared prosperity, coupled with an awareness that mainstream political parties have been complicit in upholding this system for decades. The 2007-08 global financial crisis brought the contradictions of neoliberalism to the forefront of public consciousness and frustration with political inaction led to an increased disaffection with the system. These frustrations played themselves out in the political arena in 2016 in a battle between establishment and populist insurgency political campaigns. The primary campaign was intense and at times bitter and acrimonious between the two candidates and their supporters, pointing to tensions between the party’s neoliberal and democratic socialist wings. This research project explores these intra-party tensions by analyzing how the Clinton and Sanders campaigns framed three policy issues in relation to neoliberalism and democratic socialism. The three issues I use to examine candidate framing are health care, education, and Wall Street. The general outline for this thesis is as follows: first, I offer a literature review exploring the background of the topic. This literature review focuses on the core features 1 of neoliberalism, the conditions that are leading to its crisis of legitimacy, and resistance to neoliberalism by the voting public, particularly in the context of the 2016 presidential election. In the next chapter, I offer a brief theoretical discussion of frame analysis with a focus on collective action frames and issue framing. Next, I turn to a discussion of my research methods, which relied on a mixed-method approach that blended quantitative and qualitative content analyses. A quantitative content analysis was used to establish the saliency of the three issues to each candidate. In this section, I also explore how issue salience changed throughout the course of the campaign. Next, I discuss the qualitative methods used to determine the candidate’s orientation towards the three major policy issues in relation to neoliberalism and democratic-socialism. Orientations towards the three issues were determined based on a qualitative analysis of the diagnostic and prognostic framing devices used in campaign speeches. Diagnostic framing is applied to deal with identifying causes and assigning blame for the issues of education, health care, and Wall Street, while prognostic framing is used to propose solutions to resolve these issues. In the next chapter, I turn to a discussion of the findings from my study around issue salience and issue orientation in relation to neoliberalism and democratic socialism. In this chapter, I use quantitative data to illustrate issue salience while employing qualitative analysis to explore the candidates’ orientation towards the three issues. Then, I discuss the implications of my findings, along with some of the limitations and opportunities for future research. In the concluding chapter, I briefly summarize the contributions my research project has for the scholarship on resistance to neoliberalism, intra-party insurgency campaigns, the 2016 election, and issue framing. 2 LITERATURE REVIEW A review of the relevant literature provides crucial context to buttress the analysis offered in the present study. In order to empirically analyze the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party, it is crucial to first explore the literature on the social and historical conditions that have brought about the crisis within the Democratic Party. A review of the literature also provides key insights into the socioeconomic ideologies of neoliberalism and democratic socialism, which is critical to understanding the competing policy positions of the Clinton and Sanders campaigns in the 2016 Democratic Party primary. A common theme that appears throughout the literature is that neoliberalism remains the dominant socioeconomic ideology in the two major political parties and has increasingly taken over resistance movements and the nonprofit sector. However, a review of the literature indicates that neoliberalism has entered a crisis of legitimacy and is producing discontent among the voting public. Previous research has situated the 2016 presidential election in the context of the crisis of neoliberalism, connecting the rise of the Sanders campaign to growth

    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

  • Abstract Where Is Our Revolution?: Workers In
    ABSTRACT WHERE IS OUR REVOLUTION?: WORKERS IN CIUDAD JUAREZ AND PARRAL-SANTA BARBARA DURING THE 1930s Andres Hijar, PhD Department of History Northern Illinois University, 2015 Rosemary Feurer, Director This dissertation explores the way workers on the border in Ciudad Juárez and in the mining district of Parral-Santa Barbara increased their power during the 1930s. Unionization, collective bargaining, labor tribunals, political alliances, and direct action gave workers control of crucial aspects of the production process for the first time in the nation’s history. Furthermore, workers’ efforts allowed them to extend their power beyond the workplace and into the community. In some instances, workers were radicalized, especially in the border city. To attenuate workers’ rising power, political and economic elites intervened in labor conflicts in different ways depending on the interests of the elites in the location under study. Political elites’ intervention in some cases deradicalized miners, but it also allowed them to increase their power against The American Smelting and Refinement Company (ASARCO). In Ciudad Juárez, workers’ rising power and radicalization resulted in a violent response from political and economic elites, which eventually reversed workers’ victories during the 1920s and 1930s. The Lázaro Cárdenas presidency supported workers in both the border and the mining district, but failed to rein in political and economic elites’ actions against workers in Juárez, who guarded their interests above those of workers through violence and illegal means.

    STATE OF HAWAII OFFICE OF ELECTIONS 802 LEHUA AVENUE SCOTT T. NAGO PEARL CITY, HAWAII 96782 CHIEF ELECTION OFFICER elections.hawaii.gov TESTIMONY OF THE CHIEF ELECTION OFFICER, OFFICE OF ELECTIONS TO THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY & HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS ON SENATE BILL NO. 159, SD 1 RELATING TO VOTING March 18, 2021 Chair Nakashima and members of the House Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, thank you for the opportunity to testify in support of Senate Bill No. 159, SD 1. The purpose of this bill is to require any person who is eligible to vote and applies for a motor vehicle driver license or identification card to be automatically registered to vote unless the applicant affirmatively declines; prohibits the Examiner of Drivers from transmitting information if the applicant presents a document demonstrating a lack of United States Citizenship; and to authorize access to and electronic transmission of databases maintained or operated by the counties or the department of transportation that contain driver license or identification card information to election officials and the online voter registration system. This bill would provide more access to voter registration, as it requires the applicant for a driver license or state identification card to directly address the question of whether they want to register to vote or to opt out as part of the application process. Additionally, this bill ensures the accuracy of the voter registration rolls by electronically transmitting voter registration data between the driver licensing and identification card database and the statewide voter registration system. The electronic sharing of data between driver licensing officials and election officials helps to ensure timely compliance with the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act.

Some will say that hope lies in a nation; others in a person. I believe rather that it is awakened, revived, nourished by millions of solitary individuals whose deeds and works every day negate frontiers and the crudest implications of history.

  • What a Sanders Nomination Would Mean for Minnesota Democrats
    MEMO Published February 26, 2020 • 3 minute read What a Sanders Nomination Would Mean for Minnesota Democrats Third Way Minnesota will play an important role in choosing who the Democrats nominate to take on Donald Trump. And with the right person at the top of the ticket, Minnesota Democrats could win the state’s 10 Electoral College votes and expand on recent down-ballot wins. That candidate is not Bernie Sanders, whose self-described “democratic socialist” ideas could push Minnesota from a battleground state into the Republican column this November. Sanders has not only promoted, but actually introduced legislation that would ban certain industries and eliminate thousands of Minnesotans’ jobs. There’s a reason why Donald Trump calls Sanders his “ideal Democratic opponent.” Sanders’ Socialism Will Lose to Trump Sanders self-identies as a democratic socialist. He has said on camera, “Of course, I’m a socialist.” Socialism is viewed unfavorably by 58% of Americans. 53% of voters said they would not vote for a socialist candidate for President, which was the only characteristic that a majority of Americans said they would oppose in a candidate for President. His far-left plans would double the size of the government. Last month, he refused to say how he’d raise taxes to pay for it, and his recent plans fall trillions and trillions of dollars short. Sanders’ Health Care Plan is Bad for Minnesota and Will Lose to Trump Sanders introduced legislation that would ban all private health insurance. 58% of Americans would oppose a national Medicare for All plan if it eliminated private health insurance.
