US Presidential Elections: Bernie Sanders has the best policies - by Noam Chomsky

Renowned American academic Noam Chomsky says Bernie Sanders has the best policies of the Democratic presidential contenders, but does not have a real chance to win in a political system where elections are "mainly bought".

In the second part of an interview with Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera's UpFront current affairs show, the MIT emeritus professor said that he considered Sanders to be "basically a new dealer".
"I agree with him in a lot of things, not in other things," Chomsky said.

Chomsky said there were clear differences between the two US parties.
