what might be the new gop what represents that on the left from the democratic party? well, i don t think it s bernie sanders, and i don t think there is a leader, which is why we have seen president obama come out of hiding to try to boost some of the efforts on the leff. i think that s interesting to go back to the idea of automation. democrats have been putting in policies that fight for automation. i would be careful to say democrats have the solution. what i think is a solution is a robust economy that allows people to go out and start their own sbrer prizes. we talk about automation and artificial intelligence. it s often in ones and zeros yet we understand the completionty is often characterized in these ways we often find later on is
