When did that change? He preached communism (ok, socialism, but that's like having one foot in the grave and the other on ice).
He supported the DNC 100%. If you want to argue that he stood up for the little guy, that's fine, but he was also a member the very party that was passing laws to crush the little guy. You can't have it both ways.
Before his election to the Senate, Wellstone was a professor at Carleton College, in Northfield, Minnesota. Officially, he taught political science. Unofficially, he was referred to as “the professor of political activism.” He created a course titled “Social Movements and Grassroots Organizing,” and he taught by example. In the 1980s, Wellstone organized Minnesota campaign events for the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaigns, marched with striking Hormel workers in Austin, Minnesota, and was arrested while protesting at a bank that was foreclosing on farms.
