HuffPo: Why Bernie Sanders And Tucker Carlson Agree On Food Stamps They have a common enemy: Amazon.

36. He's piggybacking on, benefiting from, the publicity

generated by Trump's attacks on Bezos by pushing himself into it. If nothing else. He has a history of that.

Of course it's good that he's crusading for worker rights, but as said, why not Walmart, many, many, many, many times larger than Amazon, just not owned by Bezos and just not under attack by Trump and his trumpsters?

TomCAdem's speculation could well be right that Sanders could be targeting Bezos because Trump has sicced his followers' hostility on Bezos. If so, an obvious possible reason would be in order to woo some of the social conservative populists (i.e., trumpsters) whom Trump could start hemorrhaging as he falls.

That's reasonable because in 2015-16 Sanders did woo and manage to draw the support of some of these very same people to his populist movement, but at that time he lost most of them to Trump's populist movement. Try, try again?

If this is it, Sanders could end up as the dog who caught the bus. If he draws even more social conservatives, he'll have to somehow keep them loyal. They're pretty mean. Trumpsters are trained to hate Democrats and attack everything liberal, and the best of them are only "somewhat" racist, ageist, nationalist, authoritarian, sexist, and otherwise aggressively hostile. Sanders may think he can control and lead them, but good luck with that.
