Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth on Democrats in blistering statement after Trumps victory

Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a blistering statement criticizing the Democratic party after another loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

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, the 83-year-old senator from Vermont wrote on social media.

Sanders, who identifies as a Democratic socialist, shared his statement just prior to Vice President Kamala Harris concession speech.

Sanders said the white working class first delivered verdict in 2016, followed by black and latino workers in 2024.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change, he wrote. And they’re right.

Sanders also specifically referred to the struggle of young people, facing a working environment threatened with the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics.

Today, despite an explosion in technology and worker productivity, many young people will have a worse standard of living than their parents, he wrote.

Sanders also condemned the billions of dollars sent by the Biden-Harris administration to the Israeli government to fund the war in Gaza, leading to a humanitarian disaster.

He also condemned the big money interests and well paid consultants that he claimed controlled the Democratic party, refusing to learn the lessons of past campaigns.

Do they have any idea as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? He asked. Probably not.

He vowed to participate in some very serious political discussions and concluded by urging his supporters to stay tuned.
