Re: "Inequality in America" discussion There are only certain types of people who are going to wish to discuss such a topic, I think.
quote:
Partnering with The Guardian, NowThis News, The Young Turks, and Act.tv, Sanders will host the discussion, titled “Inequality in America: The Rise of Oligarchy and Collapse of the Middle Class,” on March 19 at 7:00pm EST.
That wasn't a discussion - it was a back-slapping echo chamber, chaired by an angry old man.
Hmmm, I didn't think Trump attended!

Wow! What a ideologically balanced panel! Who sponsored the discussion?
Maybe they looked for someone from the Right who was concerned about inequality but couldn't find anybody.

That could be!
On another note ... "about 1.7 million live viewers for the broadcast" ... that doesn't count others who watched it later.
"Billed as a seminar on the causes of, and solutions to, rising income and wealth inequality, the town hall often doubled as a progressive pep rally for social democratic reforms."
