LOS ANGELES.–Slamming the Democrat Party for what he called the “disastrous” campaign, 84-year-old Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) blamed 60-year-old Vice President Kamala’s loss on how the Democrat Party abandoned the working class in American. Sander’s theory is so preposterous, so out of step with reality, that it can’t pass unnoticed. Democrats don’t have a problem with working class Americans, it has a problem with wokeness and gender identity, where the party panders to certain racial, ethnic and gender-stereotyped groups that make the Democrats’ activist core. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well,” Sanders said in a statement. “While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right,” thinking that 78-year-old former President Donald Trump tapped into the economic discontent of the working class suffering from Kamala’s runaway inflation.
Sanders thinks Trump does a better job of capturing the hearts-and-minds of working class Americans, something Sanders says Democrat Party elites ignore. Well, working class white folks are not the current trend in the Democrat Party, preferring to go the civil, gender and reproductive rights direction, something led by Kamala in her 107-day campaign. Sanders wants the Democrat Party to focus on White working class voters, not only ethnic and racial minorities. Kamala, herself, played up the gender identity politics, playing off her part Black heritage inherited from a father she barely knew. Kamala was raised by a South Asia woman from India, with parents divorcing at a young age. Trump questioned whether Kamala identified as African American, since she’s married to a Jewish entertainment attorney living in a post Brentwood suburb of Los Angeles. Harris gave her concession Speech today at her alma mater, Howard University in Washington, D.C.
Sanders wants to blame Kamala’s loss of the current makeup of the Democrat Party, where activists tend to represent ethnic, racial and gender minorities. “Today despite strong opposition from a majority of Americans, we continue to spend billions on funding the extremist Netanyahu government’s all out war against the Palestinian people which has led to horrific humanitarian disaster of mass malnutrition and the starvation of thousands of children,” Bernie said, the kind of claptrap that panders to Muslims in the Democrat Party that denounce Israel. Trump supporters think the exact opposite that terror groups like Hamas and nations like Iran continue to destabilize the Mideast and promote the current state of war. Progressives, like 35-year-old Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), like to blame Israel for all the progressive political causes. Sanders knows that Israel plays a vital role in U.S. foreign policy and national security.
Sanders blames big-money interest in the Democrat Party that fund political campaigns in today’s world. Gone are the days when small-money donors play a big part in national political campaigns, all because of July 10, 2010 Citizen United ruling by the Supreme Court, allowing corporations to receive unlimited campaign contributions. “Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Bernie blames voter frustration in the 2024 election to white working class voters feeling left out of the American dream. “Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing?” asked Bernie, blaming Kamala’s election loss on Party elites. “Do they have any idea as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not,” Bernie said.
Bernie misses the most basic reason Kamala could spend over a billion dollars on her campaign and come up way short. Democrat political hack James Carville, 80, said that Kamala would win the election because she spent more money than the Trump campaign. Well, does Carville recall former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2016 campaign against Trump. Hillary spent lavishly but wound up short because she turned off voters with her arrogancep. Kamala turned off voters because she spent her entire campaign slamming Trump with old, worn-out Democrat talking points, saying Trump was a fascist and dictator, something 85-year-old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did years ago when she impeached Trump for “incitement of insurrection” in 2021. Bernie wants to blame Kamala’s loss on the Democratic Party forgetting white working class voters that feel abandoned by the party need more attention.
Sanders likes to scapegoat Israel for accepting billions in U.S. funding, offering the Pentagon a seamless naval base in Israel to deal with any Mideast crisis. Trump supporters don’t back him because he’s a champion of working class values. Trump offers economic prosperity to all Americans looking to fix a broken U.S. economy wracked, by Kamala and Joe, with runaway inflation. Bernie thinks the Democrat party needs to be pay attention to “those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice,” advocated for his foreign war but saying nothing about the most costly war of all, the one in Ukraine. Kamala told voters she would continue to fund the Ukraine War with the Kremlin until Russian President Vladimir Putin pulled all his troops from Ukraine. Sanders knows that will happen the day hell freezes over. Bernie likes to lecture the country about socialism but doesn’t have a clue about how jobs are created in business and industry.
