Sen. Bernie Sanders argues that Democrats are suffering politically due to their lack of focus on the working class. In a nationwide tour with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders criticizes the Trump administration’s right-wing agenda, which he claims favors the wealthy with over $1 trillion in tax breaks while cutting essential programs. He stresses that the Democratic Party must connect with the frustrations of voters living paycheck-to-paycheck, emphasizing the growing inequality in America. Sanders believes that many citizens are alarmed by the rising authoritarianism and oligarchy, yet he acknowledges that the party has made progress in social rights. To combat the disconnection, he advocates for outreach efforts and a strong political movement aligned with working-class interests. He concludes that the major challenge is addressing the class divide, as many Americans remain unaware of critical issues like healthcare access.
