Bernie Sanders lambasts 'absolute failure' of Democratic party's strategy [View all]

To recall, Bernie made the 2017 comments below after his surrogates were invited to play a key role in writing the Democratic party's platform. Indeed, even after the 2018 elections when Democrats took the house, Bernie is still attacking the so-called "Democratic establishment" as part of his standard stump speech in 2020. You would think that Bernie should focus on what is going on in the White House, the Supreme Court or the Senate, but no, Bernie blames it on Democrats.

Bernie Sanders has criticised the Democratic party’s current direction as “an absolute failure” in a speech at the People’s Summit in Chicago.

Speaking to a crowd of 4,000 activists, Sanders hailed the “enormous progress in advancing the progressive agenda”, saying the increasing House and Senate support for a $15 minimum wage and the opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership showed the success of the movement.

But the Vermont senator said that establishment Democrats were standing in the way of further progress.

“The current model and the current strategy of the Democratic party is an absolute failure,” Sanders said.
