Summary

Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s attempts to dissolve federal agencies and defy court orders, calling it a constitutional crisis pushing the U.S. toward authoritarianism.

On his “Fight Oligarchy” tour, Sanders criticized Democrats for lacking grassroots support and caving to GOP policies, urging more militancy in Congress.

He blamed the party’s decline on reliance on wealthy donors and neglect of working-class issues.

Despite record-low approval for Democrats, Sanders noted rising interest in his populist agenda and praised progressive leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

    All in time for the democrats to run another empty (pant)suit in 2028. Rinse. Repeat.

        Maybe they’ll just run the Cheneys. Or Pelosi/Bush 2028. They need Bush to appeal to centrists (dubya is a centrist now technically), and if you don’t vote Pelosi you are a Nazi who hates women.

        I think it’ll actually be Butti / Slotkin, but yeah, not exciting prospects in the least.

      Absolutely, the democrats still don’t sound like they’ve learned anything. Find who your local progressives, who plan on running for anything, are and support them. Put people who give a damn in charge. If the same crappy democrats get back in power after Trump, we’ll just be back here again in another 8 years
