“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said.

“First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders asked.

“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”

    Not positive, but I think AOC is the closest thing right now in terms of message and visibility.

      She should start a Democratic Socialist party as a leader, with Bernie as the spiritual leader/Grandpa. Start convincing sitting Democrats to switch parties. Now is the time

              unsurprisingly, I think bernie does not care and would only consider the safety of others involved.

              to my thinking, anyone involved should be willing to commit to the idea that this revolution wont come through evolution and wont be televised.

          Incrementalism’s ultimate goal is to see “too soon” become “too late.”

      Pretty sure AOC is why centrists are announcing that Harris lost because she’s a woman and a minority.
