DAN BEJAR'S BERNIE SANDERS COVER FOR HARPER'S

April 29, 2020

Dan Bejar's portrait of Senator Bernie Sanders for the cover of Harper's Magazine May 2020 issue illustrated, “How The Anti-Populists Stopped Bernie Sanders” by Thomas Frank. The article illuminates the origins of The People’s Party (a third party to the Republican-Democrat duopoly) and “populists” in the 1890’s. The political and corporate elites in power, along with the media, have been demonizing “populism & populists” as a threat to democracy since those early days, when in reality the populist philosophy is one of working people coming together against economic privilege.
