Summary
Bernie Sanders criticizes the Democratic Party for neglecting the working class, leading to their recent election losses.
He highlights issues like economic inequality, job displacement, healthcare costs, and foreign policy as key concerns for the American people.
Sanders questions whether the Democratic leadership will address these issues or remain beholden to big money interests.
50/50 on that one. It’s just as likely they keep an opposition party to keep up appearances as many dictators do and have sham elections.
Kind of a distinction without a difference when it comes down to how anything works though.
If we’re talking about a distinction without a difference then we can admit that America is a one-party state that only pretends to be a two-party system.
No, sorry, I can’t admit that Hillary Clinton would have picked the same sort of SCOTUS justices that Trump picked, the ones that did things like end legal abortion nationwide.
I also can’t admit that Trump would have appointed Lena Khan to any sort of powerful economic position.
And I certainly can’t admit that Republicans had an infrastructure program considering they had four years to come up with one and never did.
Edit: If you want to say that the U.S. has two major political parties, one is center-right and the other is far right, I won’t disagree. But that’s a different issue.
But you have to admit that RBG didn’t step down during Obama’s term, that they let Republicans keep Merrick Garland out of the SC and gave them that seat, that they didn’t put Roe v. Wade into law during any of the chances they had to do so.
Admit that they were excited about Cheney and Bush’s kids giving an endorsement and never even bothered putting Sanders on stage at a campaign rally.
Admit that their presidential candidate underperformed the abortion-legalizing state ballot measures in every state that had one.
See my edit:
You telling me what I need to admit has nothing to do with your initial claim that it has only pretended to be a two party system. Do not move the goalposts.
What goalposts?
America has a capitalist monoparty that only pretends to be two parties so as to maintain the illusion of choice.
Got it. Bernie Sanders is an ultra-capitalist far-right Republican. Thanks for letting me know.
There’s a reason why the Democrat superdelegates refused to nominate the most popular American politician in 2015.
