"A social Democrat pursuing political revolution in the United States," wrote Iran’s official IRNA news agency of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders after he launched his campaign for the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2020 presidential race for the White House.
Sanders introduced his fight as one about "creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice." Based on that agenda, “Sanders has come forth with 'revolution' as his slogan," reported leading Iranian business daily Donya-e Eqtesad. According to the daily, what Sanders enjoys more than other US presidential candidates is massive support on social media.
