In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders statement on the election [View all]Greybnk48
(10,738 posts)82. Stephanie Rhule said the same damn thing last night!
Her example was President Biden's student loan forgiveness. It was a huge boon to college graduates, especially those who attended four years, but did nothing for the working class and the poor.
She said that kind of largesse with one group thought by many as elite, while seemingly ignoring those who are just struggling to keep a place to live and food on the table clearly fostered resentment and anger.
She says that's what we saw last night, even though F*ckface Trump is probably the last person that will help them in reality, they believed he was on their side as a regular Joe against the elite. Not against the 1% wealthy, but against the people that they think look down their noses on them.

If one of us posted that as our comment, bet it would fail a jury, certainly today. He does make a point in that a year

Yeah, he let his real feelings slip out in 2016 when he referred to Planned Parenthood as "the Establishment".

Sanders still thinks that he could have been Trump because of the crossover between MAGA and his Bernie Bros...

Look, I'm not saying he's right and I also think Biden and Harris have been good for the working class

Because of propaganda -- not because Democrats have """abandoned the working class."""

Good point. A lot of regular people are just disgusted with lack of action by government on a number of issues.

Think that's a big part of it. More people didn't go to college than did. Think they are wrong,
