Democratic presidential candidate US Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks at a campaign rally in Grand Park on March 23, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

Senior US Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders has announced his candidacy for the upcoming presidential election in 2020.

This time hes entered the race as a heavyweight candidate as compared to the last round when he was an underdog. In the previous round he lost the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton by failing to garner enough super delegate votes. He did gain a higher number of delegates compared to Clinton. Hes now branding the first race for the White House as a revolution and is calling on his supporters to help complete the revolution.

In the few weeks into his campaign, Bernie Sanders has been painting an abysmal picture of the US economy and standard of living. Sanders has rejected that her ideas are radical and extremes and has defended them as what people want and support. In the idealized democratic society, economic policy is determined by "one man, one vote."

But in all real societies, special interest groups play an important role in the process that determines economic policy. Hardly a day passes without the media reporting on the activities and influence of special interest communities. Discussions of campaign finance reform in the United States have focused attention on one important way in which interest groups seek to influence policies: interest groups are contributing ever-larger sums to political campaigns and political parties, apparently to encourage politicians to take positions favorable to their causes and to aid those who do so in their bids for election.
