Sanders’s time as a presidential candidate has passed, but his ideas are still valuable for a party that needs to persuade voters to return home from MAGA.

Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election win, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ approach to economic populism is being highlighted as a possible path forward for Democrats to regain working-class support.

Sanders’ longstanding message, which targets billionaires, corporate corruption, and economic inequality, offers a clear counter-narrative to Trump’s scapegoating of marginalized groups.

His approach appeals to voters feeling economically alienated, much like Trump’s message did in this election.

Democrats are urged to embrace Sanders’ style of anti-establishment, class-focused politics to rebuild trust with working-class voters, prioritize new leadership, and counter Republican extremism effectively.

    Whatever lol. We’re not functionally going to even have a two-party state for the rest of my lifetime, if ever. This country never was for the people and it’s a little fucking late to try now.

      Yes, we have one party here. But so does America. Except, with typical extravagance, they have two of them!

      The US has always had two parties that only serve capital and it’s interests.
