In a recent interview, Senator Bernie Sanders encourages fellow progressives to consider running as independents rather than remaining within the Democratic Party, suggesting that new grassroots leadership is essential for political transformation in the U.S. He emphasizes the importance of engaging the public and rallying support against influential figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk during his upcoming tour with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Western states. Sanders' independent stance reflects his complex history with the Democratic Party and his consistent push for grassroots empowerment.
"One of the aspects of this tour is to try to rally people to get engaged in the political process and run as independents outside of the Democratic Party."
"There's a lot of great leadership all over this country at the grassroots level. We've got to bring that forward. And if we do that, we can defeat Trumpism, and we can transform the political situation in America."
