Dem Chair criticizes Sen Sanders for campaign comments

[Dennis Donovan]

Jaime Harrison
This is straight up BS… Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time- saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP’s plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country. From the child tax credits, to 25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior health care in their homes. There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one.

Bernie Sanders

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

1. Shut up Bernie, we don't need this crap right now

[Ninga]

2. Yes Mr Chairman!

[kerouac2]

3. Sure. By all means we should cast more blame on dems

Why not just form a circular firing squad. We literally have working class people essentially voting against benefits they currently enjoy because of Dems like Biden.

4. Oh, Bernie. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are you back to your anti-Democratic establishment bs, straignt out of the 1960s campus...

radicals era? It didn't work to get you the Dem nomination both times you ran so give it a rest.

And btw, the white working class mostly left during the moral majority/Reagan Democrats era.

Haven't you heard? Get off campus and look around.

5. Sanders is exactly where he has been for the

last 30 years...shitting on Democrats from the sidelines. Off to the back bench where you belong Bernie. Sanders simply is incapable of being a team player.

6. He is allowed to and we arent?

[emulatorloo]

7. Good!

Because Bernie’s statement was BS.

8. This is what happens when you let a primadonna run a Democratic committee.

now he can join the back benchers

9. Thank you Jamie. nt

10. People do tend to hate getting their ass kicked on the way out the door.

I expect Mr. Harrison will land on his feet, regardless.

13. Do you dispute what Harrison said?

11. Sanders is right. This was a change election, and Harris was in the unenviable position

of having to be the most anti-change candidate possible (except for Biden himself).

I think the work Biden did (particularly through Sanders and Warren) on domestic economic policy and labor was fantastic - but our messaging on it is all wrong.

15. Bull shit. Trump is not 'change' by any means. And as for the economy having lived through

the early 80's when steel went caput ( and other really dire years times) I saw folks get in their cars and leave their homes in the midwest it looked like something out of the depression... shut the door and left. This is a good economy and those who don't understand what a bad economy looks like will soon find out under Trump. The idea that the president control the price of groceries was alway stupid. I sincerely hope that those who supported and voted for Trump have the worse of it. They deserve it. And I hope they may smarten up a bit.

No President EVER, has been more pro-union than Joe Biden. He walked the picket lines with them and he preserved their pensions. For Bernie to come in after the election and drop this turd of a post is not just incendiary and short sided, it's just plain wrong.

I admit to being a Bernie supporter in the past. I have supported his positions and opinions long before the 2016 primaries. I would counter his post by asking, what more could Harris have done to win over the "working class"?? It's not like the working class and unions were ignored during this campaign!

The fact of the matter is white folks, of all backgrounds, decided that a return to the Trump era was best. Look at the breakdown of voters and tell me I'm wrong. According to CNN exit polling the top four demographics that voted for Harris were Black Women, Jewish women, Black Men, and Jewish men...in that order. White folks decided that they weren't happy with the economy and voted for the fascist.

14. Lots of opinions about the Democratic Party by someone who has NEVER been a Democrat. What an asshole.

Talk about someone who should have retired.

[Demsrule86]

16. I think he hurt Hillary badly and I personally will never forgive him.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. I agree with DNC Chair Harrison

Sanders is totally wrong on this claim
