Bernie Sanders launches high-profile offensive against ‘the oligarchy’
Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders is touring Iowa and Nebraska to rally against “the oligarchy,” aiming to energize progressives rather than launch a 2028 presidential bid.
At 83, he seeks to shape the Democratic Party’s future, arguing it lost in 2024 by neglecting working-class voters.
He hopes to influence budget battles and the 2026 midterms, targeting GOP lawmakers in battleground districts.
With Democrats lacking clear leadership, Sanders’ prominence and focus on economic inequality could define the party’s direction in the Trump-Musk era.
You're viewing a single thread.
Bernie wants to drive working people and our movements back into the graveyard of the Democratic Party.
What movements? As an outsider watching the US, are there any notable workers' movements over there at the moment?
Refusing to support warhawk neoliberals like Biden and Harris seems to be a hell of a movement.
I mean, sure, but what else? I wouldn't call 'not voting for a candidate you don't like' a movement
It seems to me that Bernie is doing his best to create and energize a movement of working-class people in support of a better world. It isn't trying to hijack an existing movement; because no cohesive movement currently exists. The lack of cohesion is exactly what Bernie is trying to address.
He's trying to energize people back into the dnc.
There is no movement outside the Democrats party... Unless you can post any proof?
That movement that you claim did not exist prevented the DNC from winning the White House again. Democrats need to learn if they refuse to listen to the working class voters they need to lose.
