Bernie Sanders Rips Establishment Dems As Knives Come Out Following Kamala’s Defeat

Two-time presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ripped the Democratic Party for being out of touch with working class voters as different factions of the left-wing coalition continue to point fingers at eachother following Trump’s historic comeback victory.

“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,” Sanders wrote in a post-election X post. “While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

In an accompanying press release, Sanders noted that low income and middle class Americans had consistently expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the economy and the nation’s overall track. CNN’s Election Day exit polls found that more than 70 percent of Americans overall expressed a negative view of the nation’s economic state. The progressive leader further noted that out of control inflation has massively decreased the earning potential for the majority of Americans, though he was not saying any of this before the election and endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket.

“Today, despite an explosion in technology and worker productivity, many young people will have a worse standard of living than their parents. And many of them worry that Artificial Intelligence and robotics will make a bad situation even worse,” Sanders continued.

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing?”

During a post-election appearance on Meet The Press, Sanders refused to blame President Biden or Vice President Harris directly, instead pointing to the Democratic Party’s overall direction and message when reacting to the crushing defeat.

“President Biden, when he came into office, said that he would be the most progressive president since FDR. And I think on domestic issues, not foreign policy, on domestic issues, he has kept his word and the agenda that he has pushed through has been an extraordinarily strong one,” Sanders said of President Biden. “But, that agenda has got to be placed within the overall context of American society today. And that American society today is one in which tens of millions of working families and elderly people are struggling but while the people on top have never had it so good.”

Earlier in the show, NBC election analyst Steve Kornacki detailed the major shifts in the electorate since Trump first arrived on the political scene. Prior to 2016, Republicans won voters who make more than $100,000 per year by ten percentage points, while in 2024, the demographic had shifted in the Democratic Party’s favor by 15.

Harris and her predecessor also far out-raised the Trump Campaign, as Harris raised $1 billion, the bulk of which came from mega donors, corporations and financial firms. Trump raised a little more than $300 million and far outpaced Democrats in terms of small donations, which primarily come from middle class Americans.
