Summary
Following Donald Trumpās election win, Sen. Bernie Sandersā approach to economic populism is being highlighted as a possible path forward for Democrats to regain working-class support.
Sandersā longstanding message, which targets billionaires, corporate corruption, and economic inequality, offers a clear counter-narrative to Trumpās scapegoating of marginalized groups.
His approach appeals to voters feeling economically alienated, much like Trumpās message did in this election.
Democrats are urged to embrace Sandersā style of anti-establishment, class-focused politics to rebuild trust with working-class voters, prioritize new leadership, and counter Republican extremism effectively.
They canāt and wonāt learn. Theyād rather have a fake controllable populist on the right than a progressive on the left they canāt control. The DNC has been serving nothing but corporate neocons since Clinton. They donāt fuckin learn. They need to be thoroughly ripped apart before things will get better.
I really donāt think the DNC should be considered a viable party anymore. Iām betting Sanders and other progressives are working on the foundations of a new one. If they are, and it works, Iām going to register for a political affiliation for the first time in almost a decade and a half.
