If I'd only read "the old normal" that would still sound a little strange to me, but the full quote makes sense. He seems to be talking about problems that have been building for decades--and I think most of us agree that the economy hasn't been working for everyone and we're not on track to prevent climate catastrophe.

“I also fundamentally believe that there is no going back. My message is not about going back to where we were. I think because I come from a part of the country where normal has been a real problem for a very long time, and I think the failures of the old normal help explain how we got to Trump, I am much more interested in building a future that is going to have a lot of differences."

I can't even see this as controversial.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
